Advocacy

Reclaim the Night

Reclaim the Night is a  global activist event that calls for the elimination of gendered violence, an end to victim-blaming, and for actions to build safe and just communities.

From left to right: a woman in a red hijab holding a baby, a dark-skinned person with long blue braids wearing pink pants and a yellow jacket holding a “Reclaim the Night” sign, a person with brown skin in a red crop top and yellow skirt holding a Pride flag, and a person in a wheelchair wearing a green outfit and holding a red umbrella.

Our Voices, Our Demands

Held on the last Friday of October, the annual Reclaim the Night highlights calls for:


• Justice for First Nations women and communities
• An end to violence on the streets, in our homes, and in our workplaces
• Safety, autonomy, and healthcare for everyone
• Funding for specialised services and education
• Human rights, solidarity, and an end to discrimination and hate
• The voices of victim-survivors — and an end to systems of silence

 

2025 march and rally

Reclaim the Night is a collective movement to reclaim public space. This year, it falls on Halloween (Friday, 31 October 2025) — and we’ll be loud, proud, fabulous, and fun!  Feel free to rock a costume or just come as you are.

We are anti-racist and stand for streets free of hate. Everyone is welcome — with women and gender-diverse people at the front. We are proudly trans- and sex worker–inclusive.
