Reclaim the Night 2004
2004 marked the first revival of the historic Reclaim the Night march by the London Feminist Network. It was the first women-only RTN march in London since the 1980s. Our march was started by Al Garthwaite, one of the organisers of the first ever Reclaim The Night marches in Britain. 50 women marched from Euston to Cambridge Circus in Soho for speeches and a rendition of the 'Reclaim The Night' song by Peggy Seegar.
