Since 2004, the London Feminist Network has organised an annual, national women’s Reclaim the Night march against rape and all forms of male violence against women.
Congratulations women! Over 2000 marchers Reclaimed The Night against rape and male violence on Saturday 22nd November 2008. A packed rally followed, filling the large hall of the Friends’ Meeting House at Euston, to hear speakers and visit stalls from a variety of organisations working for women and against violence.
Our 5th Birthday party after the march was also well-attended and marchers danced the night away until 3am.
We hope to see you back here in the capital of England soon to Reclaim The Night in even larger numbers on Saturday 21st November 2009. Put your feet on the streets for women and demand justice for rape survivors, join with thousands of others from all over the country to call for an end to male violence against women in all its forms; let’s close down London for our issues for once. March for your friends, partners, sisters, daughters, mothers, colleagues, grandmothers, nieces... march for yourself. Shout a loud NO to rape and male violence, for all those women and girls for whom ‘no’ was not enough; for all those who can’t be here. Come to London to take your message to the seat of power and take your power back. Be there for women on Saturday 21st November 2009.
You can also get involved with a variety of activism through the London Feminist Network if you live in London. Or see the website for information about other Feminist Networks throughout the UK; there is also guidance on starting your own!
