'Take Back the Night: October 7-14, 2009'

Traditionally held in the fall, TBTN strives to bring awareness to the problem of sexual violence and support those who have been victimized. Today, events highlight the problem of violence against women as well as the broader issues of sexual violence: sexual assault, rape, dating violence, sexual abuse, domestic violence, stalking, sexual harassment, child abuse, internet harassment and other unhealthy relationships. However, TBTN also attempts to bring awareness towards violence and abuse against males and individuals involved in non-hetrosexual relationships.

This year's events: City-wide Clothesline Event- Sunday September 20 from 7-9 PM in the Student Center come make t-shirts to help out for a city-wide Clothesline event coordinated by the Lynchburg City Police Department. It will be held downtown at Monument Terrance from September 25-26 and will also be available for all students to see in Bell Quad sometime during Take Back the Night Week.
