Standing in Solidarity with Sexual Assault Survivors

The annual Take Back the Night March at UC to show solidarity between sexual assault survivors and their supporters and proclaim their right to safety will take place Sunday, April 25, 2021 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on campus.

This event is a collaborative effort of the Safe Trax program, K. Della Ferguson Women’s Resource Center, Golden Z, and YWCAMV. It will feature a staggered march from Strebel Student Center around the campus, with groups leaving every few minutes. The marchers will carry tea light candles.

Please note - Due to COVID-19 restrictions, only UC students, faculty and staff will be allowed to participate in the event, with masks and social distancing required; no off-campus guests will be allowed.

To participate, all those interested must sign up for a time slot at https://tinyurl.com/UCTBTN21.

“Four out of five female victims of sexual assault are under the age of 25,” said Jennifer Jones, director of the Safe Trax program at the college.

The grant-funded Safe Trax program at UC works to provide prevention education and services regarding sexual assault, harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking. To learn more about the program, please visit https://www.utica.edu/safe-trax.
