Take Back The Night is an annu­al event that has been hap­pen­ing in Hamil­ton for over 40 years and con­tin­ues to hap­pen every Sep­tem­ber all over the world. Our goal is to denounce sex­u­al vio­lence, gen­der based vio­lence and street harass­ment while pro­vid­ing a space for empow­er and sol­i­dar­i­ty with sur­vivors. We will have a gath­er­ing with com­mu­ni­ty tables, an Indige­nous mar­ket, live music, activ­i­ties, give­aways, and more! Fol­low­ing that we will ral­ly with speech­es from com­mu­ni­ty orga­niz­ers who will speak on our theme. And then the most icon­ic part of the night we march with signs and chants through the streets to take up space and assert ours rights to live safely!

Peo­ple of all gen­ders and all ages are wel­come to attend TBTN. This includes sur­vivors, advo­cates and allies who sup­port SACHA’s work and want to show love and sol­i­dar­i­ty to sur­vivors. If you care about cre­at­ing a world free of vio­lence this event is for you! As a com­mu­ni­ty we have power!
