<Title>UMBC&#8217;s Take Back the Night 2016 Roundup</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>UMBC’s Take Back The Night took place this past Thursday, April 14th. It was a very powerful evening, featuring a survivor speak-out, a march against sexual violence, and recuperating  with craftivism and community resources!</p>
    <p>Couldn’t make it? Check out this recap from the evening!</p>
    <p><img src="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/join-us.jpg?w=562" alt="JOIN US" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>The night began with an introduction by the emmcees and march leaders, Kayla  and Sarah.</p>
    <p><img src="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/1.jpg?w=562" alt="1" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <div><img src="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/img_9558.jpg?w=562" alt="IMG_9558" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><p>A bird’s eye view captured from The Commons second floor. </p></div>
    <p>The floor was then opened to survivors to come forward and share their stories. Women’s Center student staff member, MJ poignantly pointed out the moments of silence between stories.</p>
    <p><img src="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/img_9560.png?w=562" alt="IMG_9560.PNG" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>After a few minutes of silent reflection,  many people came forward to share. Every person who came up to the mic showed incredible bravery and helped empassion the audience to break the silence around sexual violence.</p>
    <div><img src="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/1-12.jpg?w=562" alt="1 (12)" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><p>A huge crowd gathered to support survivors</p></div>

    <p>Next came the march around campus! At this point in the night, the everyone gathered together to directly disrupt rape culture and call out sexual violence. We began the march from the Main Street, walked towards True Grits, through Academic Row, and back towards The Commons through The Quad.</p>
    <div><img src="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/1-3.jpg?w=562" alt="1 (3)" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><p>The march Passes the Physics building</p></div>

    <p>The night concluded in a craftivism session. People sat down to create <a href="https://themonumentquilt.org/about/force/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Monument Quilt </a>squares, “Dear Survivor” scrapbook pages, and survivors created t-Shirts for the Clothesline Project. People came together to create while listening to some empowering tunes and snacking on cookies.</p>
    <div><img src="https://womenscenteratumbc.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/img_31081.jpg?w=562" alt="IMG_3108[1]" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"><p>Reflection and Action. </p></div>
    <p>Take Back The Night 2016 was a huge success! Thank you to all of the volunteers and UMBC staff members who helped make this event run smoothly and thank you to all who came out to support survivors and fight against sexual violence!</p>
    <p><strong><em>To all UMBC survivors of sexual violence –<br>
    We see you. We believe you. It is not your fault. You are not alone. </em></strong></p>

Some of their early projects included film series, women's art exhibits, women's studies courses, and debate series. By September of 1991, an official Women's Center was opened in Gym I, hosting meetings, workshops, and events that focused on women's issues. The Women's Center continues to operate to this day, sponsoring a variety of programs including LGBTQ+ meetings, Returning Women student forums, and Women of Color Coalition meetings.  </span></div><div><br></div><div>Learn More: </div><div><br></div><div>-<a href="http://lib.guides.umbc.edu/umbchistory" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">History of UMBC Research Guide </a></div><div>-<a href="http://library.umbc.edu/speccoll/umbc.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University Archives Webpage </a></div><div>-<a href="http://womenscenter.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Women's Center Webpage </a></div><div>-<a href="http://contentdm.ad.umbc.edu/cdm/ref/collection/Retriever/id/7345" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Article "Women's Union Formed" in <em>The Retriever</em> (Volume 6, Number 1) </a></div><div><br></div><div>View All: <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/library/posts?tag=archives-gold" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">my.umbc.edu/groups/library/posts?tag=archives-gold</a></div></div>
