First Take Back the Night to end domestic, sexual violence this month at North Georgia Technical College

North Georgia Technical College will host its first Take Back the Night event later this month on the Clarkesville campus.
 
The international event aims to end sexual, relationship and domestic violence. Circle of Hope and Rape Response are partnering with the college for the event.
 
The event features a candlelight vigil, keynote speaker, one-mile glow walk around campus and a showing of the movie Wonder Woman. It will be held April 20 at 6 p.m. and is free, open to the community and appropriate for all ages.
 
The keynote address will be presented by Katie Koestner, the first woman in history to speak out nationally about being the victim of campus “date” rape. She appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine and was the subject of an HBO movie.

“This event is about awareness,” said NGTC Campus Life Director Sherry Seal. “We hope that people will come out and bring their whole family to hear about an issue that unfortunately does affect our community.”
