www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday July 25, 2008 - 9 New date and location for Take Back the Night They're taking back the night a little earlier than usual this year. Organizers of the 18th annual Take Back The Night have moved the event from its usual September date to Aug. 21. It's also on the move. For years, the organizers of the event -- SAVIS (Sexual assault Violence Intervention Services) held it in Coronation Park in Oakville. Last year they moved it to T. A. Blakelock High School and this year they are moving it to Hopedale Mall. The move to Blakelock last year boosted attendance at the annual event, and organizers hope the move to Hopedale Mall will do the same. According to Zehra Haffajee, SAVIS education co-ordinator, the move from Coronation Park to Thomas A. Blakelock High School last year was made to provide an indoor component in case of inclement weather. The switch to Blakelock allowed SAVIS to expand Take Back the Night and make it more diverse. It worked. Last year led to a record turnout with 170 participants, who came for the march and the family events -- an art exhibit, bazaar and a two-hour concert. "This revamping turned out to be a huge success," reported Haffajee. This year, Take Back The Night will be at Hopedale Mall, a larger public space in which to accommodate the event. The date for Take Back The Night was changed to August because the Muslim community celebrates the month of Ramadan during September. A move to October was not considered feasible in consideration of Jewish holidays that occur at that time. Organizers say Take Back the Night 2008 will be an inclusive, familyfriendly event since violence affects everyone. Take Back The Night began in Germany in 1973 as a response to a series of sexual assaults, rapes and murders. Events and marches are now held internationally in all parts of the world and the message is the same: women and children have a right to be free from violence in their lives. On Aug. 21, Halton residents will enjoy a multi-faceted, event including entertainment, children's crafts, information booths and a women and children only anti-violence march down the streets of Oakville. "This is a not just a woman's issue. It is critical that men and children attend this event and stand with women in saying that violence against women will no longer be tolerated. Men can support Take Back the Night in so many ways, such as volunteering on the day, providing childcare during the march for their partners, and most importantly, by understanding that the anti-violence march is a symbolic march -- it is a chance for women to walk alone at night, feeling safe and empowered, without having to ask for male accompaniment," said Haffajee. Numerous artists will use their talent to raise awareness of violence and inspire action to bring about positive change including BellyUp Bellydance Studio. Take Back The Night 2008 will take place from 6-9 p.m. The event is free. SAVIS is working in partnership with Amnesty International, Halton Community Legal Services, Halton District School Board, Halton-Peel Humanist Community, Halton Regional Police Services, Halton Women's Place, Nina's Place, Oakville Poetry Alliance, The Women's Centre and Women of Halton Action Movement (WHAM).
