 WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH (March)
The public celebration of women's history in this country began in 1978 as "Women's History Week". The week including March 8, International Women's Day, was selected. In 1981, Se. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Rep. Barbara Mikilski (D-Md.) co-sponsored a joint Congressional resolution proclaiming a national Women's History Week. In 1987, Congress expanded the celebration to a month, and March was declared Women's History Month. Read more...

Why Take Back the Night?
Take Back The Night’s supporters have always understood the power of speaking out. Rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse and domestic violence are often labeled “crimes of silence” because of low reporting rates and social discomfort with their public discussion. Survivors of sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, and sexual abuse are invited to Shatter the Silence™ by posting your stories here at the Take Back The Night Headquarters.
Join V-Day Lubbock Coalition in supporting
and telling our stories to help our world work toward eliminating sexual violence. Facebook Event Page | Read more...
