Take Back the Night is an annual event held each April as part of the UConn's observation of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The event seeks to raise awareness about gender-based violence affecting members of our community and promote victim/survivor empowerment and healing.

The evening begins with a short program in the Student Union Ballroom where invited speakers and performers highlight the importance of community investment in this issue.

From there, attendees will be invited to participate in a candlelight march through campus and the evening will conclude with a victim/survivor speak-out. During this time, members of our community will have the opportunity to share their personal stories related to gender-based violence.

A late night coffee-house will take place in the Women's Center, at the conclusion of the main event, for those who wish to share in a smaller and more intimate setting.
