Take Back the Night is an annual march that unites women, men and children, as feminists, contesting violence against women. The march often takes place in the darkness and when it originally began, it was open to women only in order to emphasize the idea that women, when united, are strong and can stand together against rape and other forms of violence against women. However, now the march serves to stand up against any violence committed against any person(s). The first Take Back the Night rally took place in Germany and the first one in the United States took place in California. | |||
