Please note: There will NOT be a Take Back the Night Speak Out this year. However, additional programming will be provided by the student organization Organization Against Sexual Assault (OASA) via Zoom following the Take Back the Night Virtual March on Thursday 4/30 at 7pm. Again, that will be a student-led discussion space and NOT a Speak Out. Please follow @uo_oasa on Instagram for more information.
This is a survivor-centered movement and a sacred space. We will not tolerate or engage with any actions which seek to disrespect that.

THIS SUNDAY the Women’s Center and Volunteers will place 3,250 red flags on campus in the Condon Lawn off 13th that represent the number of students who, based on a university our size, will be harmed by sexual violence during the school year. The first six weeks of the school year have a heightened risk for sexual violence – this time is known as The Red Zone.
Please help us set up on Sunday, October 20th beginning at 12pm and tear down on Sunday, October 27th beginning at 12pm!
The WC has begun our annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month Toiletry Drive! Until November 8th we will be collecting toiletries and personal products to support survivors of dating and domestic violence as they transition to new lives. All donations will go directly to Womenspace, First Place Family Center, HIV Alliance as well as a new addition this year – Centro Latino Americano!
Please look for the purple bins around campus or stop into the Women’s Center in EMU 012 to donate!
We appreciate any assistance you can provide to support survivors of dating and domestic violence in our community.
A safe and affirming evironment for people of all genders at the University of Oregon.
