Take Back The Night 2024

We acknowledge, the land we are standing on today
is the traditional territories of the many nations
including the Mississauga of the credit, the
Anishnabeg, the Chipewa, the Haudenosaunee, the
Wendat peoples and now home to many diverse First
Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We acknowledge
that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the
Mississauga of the credit and the William Treaty
signed with multiple Mississauga and Chipewa
bands. Tkaronto is built on sacred land that is part of
an agreement between indigenous peoples and then
extended to allied nations to peacefully and
respectfully care for it. We are taking part in an act of
reconciliation, honouring the land and indigenous
ancestry that dates back over 10,000 years.

Take Back the Night is a community-based event to unite all survivors in honouring their stories as survivors of sexual violence; sexual assault, childhood sexual violence, domestic violence, survivors of state violence such as police brutality, racism, sexist oppression and other forms
of institutionalized violence and War.

This year, the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape (TRCC/MWAR) will be hosting TAKE BACK THE NIGHT on Thursday, September 12, 2024.

Our Rally will be at 6 PM and our March at 7 PM.

This year, the theme is “40 YEARS OF RECLAIMING THE STREETS: Celebrating Survivorship, Resiliency, Empowerment, Healing, and Activism”. 2024 marks 40 years of Take Back The Night in Toronto, where we continue to take action in supporting survivors in
reclaiming and honouring their lived (and living) experiences in decolonizing their bodies, resisting and challenging settler colonialism and the heteropatriarchy.

We will take to the streets with a Resounding Roar to RECLAIM THE STREETS NOW! We will march in solidarity with international movements to end gender-based and sexual violence.

Our Take Back The Night is a wheelchair-accessible event with ASL interpretation on site. All are welcome; the event is queer and trans positive.

The TRCC/MWAR is a non-profit, grassroots feminist organization that is run by a women and non-binary people collective since 1974. For 50 years the TRCC/MWAR has been on an ongoing journey of public education, community organizing, and activism in the Anti-Rape Movement. We work to provide feminist peer support services to survivors of gender-based sexualized violence in Metro Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area through a 24/7 crisis line phone counselling, face-to-face counselling, chat support, court support accompaniment/advocacy, support groups, Latinx Women’s Program, public education,
workshops, and trainings.
