West End protest: Reclaim the night is back

Last night hundreds of people flocked for the annual ‘Reclaim The Night’ event in protest of sexual assault throughout Glasgow.

A marcher speaking to the Tab said: “It’s very empowering.”

The event, which was put on by Glasgow’s Rape Crisis Centre, sent out a powerful message and one which many of locals felt strongly about.

The campaign will last for 16 days with various events to raise awareness for the cause.

Another marcher said: “It’s about trying to put a stop to the high levels of sexual abuse that still go on in todays society.”

The aim of the ‘Reclaim the Night’ campaign is to put a stop to the fear of walking home alone at night.
