Manitoba Live Music Event

About

Take Back the Night is an international movement to protest violence against women and all members of our communities. Sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and street harassment are all reasons that have motivated Winnipeggers to TAKE BACK THE NIGHT since 1979!

This year we celebrate the them of "Communities Unite! Winnipeg, Take Back the Night!" We are marching to honour the ongoing work that individuals, communities, and agencies do to end violence and oppression based on sex, gender, sexuality, ability, race, ethnicity, and class. 

This is a peaceful, family-friendly event. It will start with a rally at the Magnus Eliason Recreational Centre at 6:30. There will be a blessing from Elder Mae Louise Campbell, smudging, drumming and speakers. Then at 7:00 we will take to the streets to feel safe together and make some noise! Following the march everyone is welcome for snacks and entertainment back at the MERC. 

It is well known that the majority of interpersonal violence occurs behind closed doors. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their home and in public no matter what time it is, what they are doing or what they are wearing. See you there!
