Take Back The Night
The University of Louisville hosted the 24th annual Take Back the Night on Sept. 25.

Since that time Take Back the Night events have expanded to include all issues of violence against women some of which are domestic & intimate partner abuse, stalking, sexual harassment, trafficking, and pornography.
