Auckland Take Back the Night

Thanks to Kelsie for emailing me about this, I will try to make it and hope to see others there!
Auckland End Rape Culture NOW! Collective invites you to join us to
TAKE BACK THE NIGHT!
Friday 27th November 2009, Albert Park, 7.00 pm.

END THE SILENCE, END THE FEAR
We have lost our right to walk freely at night. For 364 days a year,
we limit our own freedom, silently. We live in fear. So, let us speak up,
and say why limit OUR freedom, when it's not us who commits the crime?

END RAPE CULTURE
We are told that if we go anywhere alone, that we are asking for trouble,
that it is our fault if we are assaulted. Rape Culture is "a conscious process
of intimidation by which all women are kept in a state of fear" (Susan Brownmiller).
So lets end this rape culture, lets work together to create a world safe for womyn.

TAKE BACK THE NIGHT
We should not be afraid to walk alone at night!
Together, we are strong, we can march and support each other!
Join us to celebrate our mutual support, have FUN, and take back the night together!

JOIN US!
