Centre Wants You To “Take Back The Night”

The Women’s Resource Centre is inviting Bermudians and Bermuda residents to slip into their walking shoes and help the island “Take Back The Night” tomorrow evening [Oct.14].

The event gets underway at 6:30 p.m. on Friday at Victoria Park.

“It’s a symbolic walk to remind us of women’s right to walk safely at night and a walk to remember those we have lost to domestic violence,” said a Women’s Resource Centre spokesman. ” It’s an international event which has been held around the world since 1976.

“It’s a walk to increase community awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault. And it’s a walk to express the Bermuda community’s commitment to ending violence.”

The spokesmen said men as well as women are encouraged to participate and families with teenage children are invited to bring them along, too.
