Women Reclaim the Night
Friday 27 Nov
Wellington Women Reclaim the Night 2009
Reclaim the Night is an international event putting the issue of women’s safety from male violence on the agenda for this night and every day.
They are marching to demand our right to be free from the fear or reality of rape, of sexual harassment, of domestic violence, of stalking.
In Aotearoa/New Zealand
* 1 in 3 women will experience physical or sexual violence from a partner in their life
* 99% of sexual violence incidents reported to the Police are perpetrated by men
* 95% of them on women
* A woman is killed in a domestic violence incident every 3 ½weeks
* 92% of protection orders are taken out by women
* 1 in 3 women report sexual harassment in the workplace
This year the Wellington Reclaim the Night march addresses:
“The culture of violence towards women”
and is focused around being safe in our city; in our homes, at work, while out exercising or walking, going clubbing or out for a drink with our friends
When:
Friday the 27th of November, 6.00pm Where:
Assemble at the front of the Wellington Railway Station for speakers including Labour’s Lynn Pillay on the changes to ACC for sexual violence survivors
Performance by the Real Hot Bitches (tbc)

All self-defined women and their children
After party:
Ivy, Dixon Street from 8pm with performances from…
