Georgia Perimeter College students will stand against sexual violence as part of an international awareness campaign called Take Back the Night (TBTN).

GPC’s LAMBDA Triangle and Feminati clubs are sponsoring the event on Tuesday, April 14, from 5:30-8 p.m. on Dunwoody Campus.

"During our TBTN celebration, we will also join with two GPC clubs and two community organizations to advocate for a safe and respectful educational environment for all women and queer-identified people," says Jasmine Hutchison, LAMBDA Triangle president. "This includes transwomen and undocumented women, too."

According to the TBTN website: "By raising awareness of sexual street harassment, assualt and other forms of sexual and dating violence, Take Back the Night creates a common mission of ending sexual violence in al forms everywhere."

Colleges, domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers throughout the United States and internationally take part in Take Back the Night activities annually. Participants for the Georgia Perimeter gathering are asked to meet in front of the Dunwoody Campus library at 5:30 p.m. From there, they’ll walk to B building, where laypersons and representatives from Women Healing Women, Inc. will lead a discussion on domestic partner violence and street harassment.

Part of the mission for both the GPC Feminati and LAMBDA Triangle clubs is working to reduce bigotry and discrimination against people of different sexual and gender orientations.
