Join UWaterloo students in a powerful night of action and solidarity at Take Back the Night, a global movement that has, since the 1970s, advocated for the right of women and gender-diverse people to walk safely at night without fear. The event takes place at the Gaukel Block in downtown Kitchener — meet fellow UWaterloo students at 5 PM in front of the SLC (Tim Hortons entrance) to head downtown together!

Now it’s our turn to take a stand! March with the UWaterloo community and others from across the region to speak out against gender-based and domestic violence. The event will feature inspiring speeches, live performances, community resources, and a moving march through the streets of downtown Kitchener. 

We’ll also have a booth on-site all evening — come say hi, check out our resources, and hang out with us before or after the march. 

⚠️ Accessibility: The site is accessible, with a wheelchair accessible washroom onsite near the booths, plus additional accessible washrooms a short walk away in Willow River Park. 

 If you require any accommodation to fully participate in this event, please reach out to us.    

Bring your friends. Make a sign. Take a stand.
Together, we Take Back the Night!
