Reclaim the Night

On Thursday night students from all over Manchester, as well as families with children, took part in a peaceful protest march to "reclaim the night" from sexual assaults and attacks. This academic year (so far) there has been a 100% increase in reported rapes by students compared to last year. This is disgusting. Only the other day the same man sexually assaulted 2 girls on Wilmslow Road and has not yet been caught by the police. For those of you who don't know, Wilmslow Road is the main road that runs through Fallowfield, the area in which the majority of Manchester (UoM & Man Met) students live. It's well lit and always busy, you just don't expect it to happen there.

We want to reclaim the night.
