‘Reclaim the Night’ (RTN) in Newcastle was held in 2008 on Friday 31st October.

The RECLAIM THE NIGHT Collective called for contributions from
women of all ages and experiences to include in a magazine
created to celebrate RECLAIM THE NIGHT event in
Newcastle.

Deadline for submissions was Friday October 17 2008

RECLAIM THE NIGHT is an annual event across the globe. The night aims
to empower women by encouraging them to take a stand and speak out
against sexual assault and violence, and to challenge the notion that
women shouldn’t be out at night. The event also encourages social and
political awareness around the issues of violence against women and
children. Women first began taking to the streets for RECLAIM THE
NIGHT in Australia in 1978 and have continued to do so every year in
cities and towns across the country.
