Take Back the Night is an annual event that creates space for survivors of sexual violence while raising awareness about the ongoing impact of sexual assault in our communities. The evening is grounded in connection, reflection, and collective action, and is structured in three parts: a Rally, a March, and a Speak-Out.

Together, these elements offer opportunities for education, visibility, and healing. Participants are invited to gather in community, honor lived experiences, and engage in a shared commitment to building safer, more just environments. Take Back the Night centers the importance of reclaiming spaces and experiences that have been shaped by harm, while imagining a world where all people can move through their lives with safety, autonomy, and freedom.

Whether you are attending for the first time or returning, we welcome you to join us in reflection, solidarity, and collective care.

This event is intended for Stanford students. Faculty and staff are warmly welcomed to attend the Rally to show their support, and we encourage them to help preserve the Speak-Out as a student-centered space for sharing openly and freely.
