Reclaim The Night

Reclaim The Night

Arts University PlymouthPlymouth, England
Friday, Feb 6 from 6 pm to 8 pm GMT
Overview

Join us as we take to the streets to demand safety, dignity and freedom for women and girls.

For nearly fifty years, Reclaim the Night has represented one demand: stop telling women to change their behaviour and confront the culture that allows male violence to thrive.

Across the UK - and here in Plymouth - women are still expected to modify their behaviour to stay safe, while the root causes of male violence remain unchallenged. Reclaim the Night exposes this injustice and pushes back against a culture that holds women responsible for the violence committed against them.

The movement began in Leeds in 1977, when women were told to stay indoors after dark as the Yorkshire Ripper terrorised the streets - whilst men were allowed to carry on as normal.

But instead of accepting a curfew, women refused to be shut away. They marched. They demanded their right to walk freely, to take up space, to live without restriction.

Trevi calls on every woman and ally in Plymouth to turn that demand into action on the 6th February 2026, and help us reclaim what should always have belonged to us: our streets, our nights, and our right to move through the world without fear.
