 Senior Spotlight: Leadership & Advocacy

"Take Back the Night (TBtN) is a student advocacy group on Georgetown’s campus dedicated to fighting against acts of gender-motivated violence, domestic and sexual assault, and rape. We aim to raise awareness about these issues, promote the empowerment of women, and provide a supportive environment for survivors of sexual assault. TBtN works closely with the Women’s Center over the course of the year to put on a variety of events and programs for Georgetown students, faculty, and staff. The biggest program organized by our organization is “Take Back the Night Week” held every November, a powerful and productive week filled with events such as an open mic night to raise awareness surrounding these issues and a rally/vigil to honor survivors and people that we have lost to domestic/sexual/gender-motivated violence. Other events we hold throughout the year include a “These Hands Won’t Hurt” campaign, the Vagina Monologues and the Clothesline Project." ~ Danielle & Kristen, Take Back the Night Co-Chairs
