The next Reclaim the Night march will be on March 15th 2013, just after International Women's Day and the Oxford International Women's Festival, and it will follow a month-long campaign to raise awareness about how as a community we can make a safe space for women to speak out about violence.

The 2011 Oxfordshire Reclaim the Night march takes place this Friday evening, 28 October, meeting 6.30pm at Gloucester Green. We'll march around the city centre making a noise about violence against women, and tying decorative labels with messages about violence against women - and the phone number for Oxford Rape Crisis - onto railings and streetsigns. Bring your selves, your passion, your favourite chants, and placards and banners.
The march is women-only - for all who self-identify as women and experience gender violence as female-perceived.

Want to be involved in organising a local event aimed at ending violence against women? A small group of people are involved in organising Oxford’s Reclaim the Night, an annual event to raise awareness of all forms of domestic and sexual abuse against women and girls. The event has grown over recent years, and the 2011 march is set to be even bigger!
