The Norse Violence Prevention Center (NVPC) Peer Ambassadors hosted a two-part âTake Back The Nightâ event Tuesday evening. About 20 people virtually attended the first part of the event that featured speaker Olivia Montgomery who serves as the equity and inclusion coordinator at the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence, as well as own an equity firm, discussed the intersection between gender and racial justice, and how students have a vital role in gender and civil rights movements.Â
According to Montana State University, âTake Back The Nightâ events have been hosted since 1877 when a women-only protest in England took place against the violence and terror that women felt as they walked the streets at night.Â
