4207 supports the take back the night event. We encourage members to go to the event held tomorrow.
For the past 43 years, the Niagara Sexual Assault Centre (NSAC) has held our Take Back the Night event to raise awareness about gender and sexual violence. We have seen some changes over the years. Laws have been introduced, safety apps have been created, more people seem willing to talk about the issue. Unfortunately, this hasn’t resulted in a decrease in violence. Sexual violence is the only crime NOT seeing a decrease. The latest stats show an 18% INCREASE from 2020-2021! Although this information is alarming, we believe education is key.
NSAC wants you join us in our Take Back The Night 2024 which will be held on Thursday, September 19thfrom 6:30-9pm at 91 King St. St. Catharines (Market Square). There will be Community Speakers, Community Partner Information Tables, Music and a Candle Lit March. If you have any questions, please reach out anytime to Tricia Cosgrove at tcosgrove@nrsac.org.
