Reclaim The Night London

By Laura Woodhouse | 19 November 2008, 12:59

EDIT: London Feminist Network members have confirmed that “women only” of course includes trans women. However, considering the confusion this has caused both this year and on previous occasions, I really think this should be made explicit on publicity for future marches.

The fifth annual Reclaim The Night march stomps off this Saturday in London! Assemble 6pm in Whitehall Place, the march will start at 6.30pm. Women only.

The march will be followed by a rally for all women, men and children at the Friends Meeting House, Main Hall, Euston Road (fully accessible).

Check out our photos and write up of last year’s march to get you in the mood!

'The UNISON Northern Ireland Women’s Committee has organised a ‘Reclaim the Night’ candlelit procession from the centre of Belfast on Saturday 22nd November - assembling outside City Hall at 6.30pm.

Reclaim the Night is a UK wide organisation which seeks to draw attention to the increasing levels of violent / sexual assaults against women on our streets.
