About this Event
Reclaim the Night with Trevi
Come and join us at our Reclaim the Night march again this February. This unique event celebrates empowerment and unity. Get ready to be inspired by incredible women, thought-provoking discussions, and a vibrant atmosphere as we take back the streets of Plymouth. This in-person event will start at Arts University Plymouth, at Tavistock Place, Plymouth, UK. It's time to reclaim the night and make a difference together! Everyone welcome!
Reclaim the Night has been prominent in cities across the UK for nearly five decades. Its initial message in the 1970s, was the rage and anger that women felt about being given a curfew in response to severe violence against women and girls. The curfew was as a response to the mass murders of women committed by Peter Sutcliffe, while men were able to live their lives freely. These reactions are still prevalent today, as women show their fury at not only having to take extra measures to ensure their own safety within their daily lives but also being expected to take precautions against the added threat of spiking on nights out.
We will be marching through the town centre, making as much noise as possible! To make sure we are heard, bring your instruments along!
