News report-
IUPs Take Back the Night March is
followed by a powerful survivor
speak-out, which offers survivors of
violence an opportunity to give voice to
their experiences. Some share their
stories, or provide support to others,
while publicly affirming their transition
from victim to survivor. It is a powerful
and empowering event for both
survivors and supporters. The
speak-out is an inseparable and vital
part of IUPs experience of Take Back
the Night and brings awareness to
others about the impact of sexual
assault and violence on victims and
survivors.
Participant -
This is incredibly important we
need to make sure that we have
a safe place for our students to
live, work, and for our
employees for that matter and
it sends such a powerful
message that we're all out here
making sure that we're taking
back the night making it safe
for everyone - IUP President
Michael Driscoll
Victim attending
event-
I don't know about everyone
else, but I went back to my
dorm room feeling that by not
reporting, I had let everyone
down. And while the speak
outs on other campuses may be
more representative (I never
could bring myself to attend
another one), the flawed
narrative that underpins Take
Back the Night marches means
they'll never paint a full
picture-. Megan Greenwell
