First night feminist rally under the motto 'Reclaim the Night' in Leeds, England

47

years ago

12 November 1977,

The first night feminist rally under the motto Reclaim the Night took place in Leeds, England. In the face of the assaults of women by men, the police recommended that women not leave at night, instead of focusing on the aggressors. Angry at the recommendation, the feminist movement called to demonstrate to reclaim the right to walk at night without fear, starting the Reclaim the Night movement. Nighttime feminist manifestations spread all over the world.
