We are thrilled to announce the date for 2024’s Take Back the Night (TBTN) in Belleville! TBTN will be hosted at Market Square in downtown Belleville on Thursday, September 26th at 6:00pm. We look forward to seeing everyone there to honor survivors and celebrate this important event.

TBTN happens in Belleville and around the world every year with the goal to end sexual violence. It aims to bring awareness to the ways sexual violence and rape culture permeate our lives and to build strength and solidarity in the movement toward safety, support, and healing.

The Take Back the Night Committee is represented by the Community Advocacy & Legal Centre, Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Response Program (DVSARP), Hastings and Prince Edward Occasional Teacher’s Local, Sexual Assault Centre for Quinte and District, Three Oaks Foundation and Victim Services HPELA.

"If it was not for this program, I’m not sure where I would be today. They helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even though there are many bumps and roller coasters, we will overcome to get there."
