Advocacy

Reclaim the Night 2026

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.

 

Justice, safety and inclusion for all

Held all over the world on the last Friday in October, Reclaim the Night is about taking over public space – we will be loud, proud, fabulous and fun on Kaurna Yarta.

 

We are anti-racist and for streets that are free of hate. We are powerfully trans and sex worker inclusive. Everyone is welcome. Women and gender diverse people, First Nations people, CALD people, and people with disability to the front.

 

Stop silence and end violence

Let’s tell politicians and the community that:

 

  • It’s time to end sexual violence in our homes, streets, sports clubs, and workplaces.
  • Everyone deserves healthcare, choice, bodily autonomy, and dignity to be themselves.
  • We need stronger human rights, equality, anti-discrimination, and anti-hate laws, in South Australia.
  • No workers should be denied rights or safety because of their occupation, their ethnicity, or their visa status.
  • Survivors of gendered violence know what needs to change – fund our services and hear our voices!
