Throughout its history, Take Back the Night has inspired both women and men to confront sexual violence. The unifying theme is the assertion that all human beings have the right to be free from violence, the right to be heard: the right to take back the night! In short, to Take Back the Night means reclaiming the fears the night has instilled in women and survivors. Each year, MSU commits one night in April to Take Back the Night as a part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
This event is free and open to all.
Show your support for survivors of sexual violence, your commitment to ending sexual violence, your call to action, and your willingness to Take Back the Night! For more information, contact Lindsay at lindsay.gullingsrud@mnsu.edu or 507-389-5127.
Empower yourself and others! The Women's Center will be holding a bi-weekly discussion group on women's issues, and we are looking for undergraduate women who would like to be involved. It will be an opportunity to learn and to support other women in a search of self-discovery and growth. Topics will include sexual violence, dating violence, stress, self-care, relationships, and other issues. If you are interested in joining the group, please contact Lindsay Gullingsrud at lindsay.gullingsrud@mnsu.edu, by phone at 507-389-5127 or stop in to see her at the Women's Center.
Our final session this semester is Wednesday, May 2! Novice or pro, all are welcome! Bring your knitting, embroidery, crochet or other craftiness. We'll be glad to see you. Wednesdays at 5 p.m. at the Women's Center (CSU 218). For more information contact Deirdre at rosenfeld@mnsu.edu.
