About this Event

Reclaim the Night Banner Making (University of Chester Students only)


Come and join the University of Chester's Sexual Violence Liaison Officer (SVLO) Service to create powerful banners for the Reclaim the Night March and Vigil in support of North West Sexual Violence Awareness Week!

The original UK Reclaim the Night marches date back to 1977, when English cities marched to protest the police's response to the M**der of several females. Police encouraged women not to go out at night, contributing to the victim blaming narratives society promotes.

Women organised these marches to assert their right to walk freely and safely at night without fear of violence or harassment. The event has since become a symbol of resistance against sexual violence, rape culture and inequality.

Reclaim the Night marches fight for everyone to have the right to be safe from sexual violence and harassment, without the need to hide from the dark in their own homes.


At 7pm we will make our way into Chester City centre to join the Reclaim the Night March, all attendees are welcome to join.

Cardboard and pens will be provided.
