The annual Take Back the Night March at UC to show solidarity between sexual assault survivors and their supporters and proclaim their right to safety will take place Sunday, April 25, 2021 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on campus.

“Four out of five female victims of sexual assault are under the age of 25,” said Jennifer Jones, director of the Safe Trax program at the college.
The grant-funded Safe Trax program at UC works to provide prevention education and services regarding sexual assault, harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking. To learn more about the program, please visit https://www.utica.edu/safe-trax.
