Take Back The Night march, UC Berkeley.

In the U.S. every two minutes a person is sexually assaulted. Women in college are four times more likely to be assaulted, and two third of all rapes are committed by someone known to the victim. Only 40% of all assaults are reported, as the chances of convicting someone for rape are slim, and often don’t merit the trauma that the victims need to go through at court and by the police. Only 6% of those persecuted for rape end up at prisons, 94% walk free. Women against Rape, an international organization against sexual violence based in London, has commented that the Police and the courts “are the rapists’ best friend” and that “Investigating rape is a low-priority, low-resourced police work. Every day rape survivors comment on how terrorism, surveillance of protests, property crime and arresting sex workers take precedence over the safety of women and girls.”

At UC Berkeley, marches held signs against sexual violence and carried candle lights. The march, usually composed of only women (not in this case), symbolizes that gender oppressed people united can defeat fear and violence. The event, organized by SHAPE (Sexual Harassment/Assault, Advocacy and Peer Education), is a program within the Gender Equity Resource Center that was established to increase campus awareness about sexual harassment and sexual assault. On Thursday, April 16, a rally called “a night of empowerment against sexualized and relationship violence” will be held at UC Berkeley Sproul Plaza. Survivors of sexual assaults students and the general public will speak, read poetry, and sing for a world without rape, for the empowerment of all gender oppressed people.
