Reclaim the Night 2018 Poster
Everyone in Dorset is invited to join WAND for our tenth annual Reclaim the Night event on 24 November, from 6.30-10.30 at the Town Hall in Dorchester (upstairs at the Corn Exchange, DT1 1HF).
WAND – Women’s Action Network Dorset – is hosting the night to link in with “International End Violence Against Women Day” held each year on 25 November.
Tickets cost £5, to be bought on the door, and include a drumming workshop with the wonderful Organic Rhythm, a buffet supper and a charity auction. The main event of the evening will be a short march through the Dorchester streets to ‘Reclaim the Night’.
The march through the streets is our way of raising awareness of the vulnerability faced by many women through domestic violence and abuse, rape, and honour-based violence. While the event has a serious theme, it’s a really fun evening.
The money raised from the auction will go to support the Dorset Women’s Crisis and Information Centre and The Shores (Sexual Abuse Referral Centre) in Bournemouth to support their valuable work. Last year we raised over £650 at event.
We are again welcoming anyone who wishes to contribute towards ending violence against woman – so this will not be a female only event – it is open to everyone.
While WAND recognises that domestic violence doesn’t just affect women and that men can also be subjected to it, as a women’s organisation Reclaim the Night is still focused on support for women.
So please come along to our friendly event which promises a fun evening despite its serious message.
