A group of LLCC students, staff, and faculty recently attended Take Back the Night at UIS as part of a partnership that LLCC’s Sexual Assault and Violence Education (SAVE) Taskforce formed with the UIS Women’s Center for the event. Take Back the Night is an event that includes a march and rally to acknowledge worldwide violence against women, challenge the normalization of such violence, and demand a change in the aspects of each society and culture around the world that perpetuate gender-based violence. If you are interested in learning more about SAVE, please contact Leslie Johnson (leslie.johnson@llcc.edu) or Shelby Bedford (Shelby.bedford@llcc.edu).
