Our Womxn’s only party is based on the idea of a very impactful, historical movement Take Back The Night. What started out with the aim of ending sexual and domestic violence created a global initiative where the priority is to build environments in which womxn feel safe, supported and empowered by reclaiming public and social spaces during the night. Thanks to this movement, many workplaces and universities changed their policies by shifting the perspective from victim-blaming to perpetrator responsibility. These events continue to provide a space where survivors feel safe to share their experiences which contributes to reducing shame surrounding violence internationally. Reaching millions of people, the impact of this movement proves to be revolutionary
Our event is a night-out that celebrates freedom, solidarity and equality within a space created by and for womxn. Help us support the legacy of those who came before us by attending and reclaiming the right to take up space after dark.
