Continuing a tradition that started in 1975 and has spread across the globe, organizers at Niles West High School put on a Take Back the Night event July 30th.

The events, which are based on the idea of reclaiming the night as a safe time for women instead of a threatening one, promote speaking out against sexual violence.
