An event to inspire both women and men to confront sexual violence against women. 

What does it feel like to be a woman on the street in a cultural environment that does nothing to discourage men from heckling, following, touching or disparaging women in public spaces? Filmmaker Maggie Hadleigh-West believes that the streets are a War Zone for women. Armed with only a video-camera, she both demonstrates this experience and, by turning and confronting her abusers, reclaims space that was stolen from her. War Zone gives voice and expression to a disturbing daily aspect of being a woman in this society. It also gives men a direct personal feeling for what harassing behavior looks and feels like to a woman.

Co-sponsored by the Luann Dummer Center for Women, the Sexual Violence Prevention Committee, in partnership with ACTC schools. (Remember Take Back the Night is April 28th, 7:30 PM, corner of Cretin and Summit.)
