Take Back the Night Newark NJ
On Thursday, April 18, 2024, as part of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, Family Service League (FSL) and its SAVE of Essex County Program, joined co-sponsors Rutger’s University, NJIT, and other supporting organizations in a Take Back The Night evening march, rally & speak-out, focused on spreading awareness about the prevalence of sexual violence in communities and college campuses, as well as de-stigmatizing survivors.
According to the Rutger’s University website, “We know that anyone can be a survivor, and that it occurs across all races, ages, socio-economic backgrounds and genders.”
The event was well attended including FSL staff members and volunteer advocates.
