SOS is excited to partner with Emporia State University THRIVE (The Healthy Relationship & Interpersonal Violence Education program) for our first virtual Take Back The Night event on April 21st at 7 pm! This is a free event and open to the public by visiting: emporia.edu/live. The first Take Back The Night was held in England in 1877, and the US joined the movement in 1978 in San Francisco. These marches started as a protest against the violence women are subjected to on a nightly basis and have evolved into a night of sharing, healing, and empowerment. Please join us as we share stories of perseverance over personal experiences, education about resources available, options for healing techniques, and answering questions.
