Women and Men Take Back the Night
This annual march against sexual violence has been co-sponsored by Loyola University New Orleans and Tulane University since 1990. The purpose of the march is to heighten awareness of sexual violence in our community and to empower survivors. The emotionally powerful evening begins with speakers who share their personal stories of rape, assault or domestic violence, and their journeys to healing and hope. The candlelit march proceeds from Loyola to Tulane, where others have the opportunity to speak out against sexual violence. This university-wide event is coordinated through the Counseling and Career Services Center. The march will be held on Wednesday, October 11, 2006. Contact Ilyse Goldberg isgoldbe@loyno.edu, or Joshua Matassa jrmatass@loyno.edu for more information about this year's march.
