Come support survivors of sexual and interpersonal violence at Take Back the Night, starting at 6:00 pm on Friday, April 1st. This year we have Jo Blake, faculty in the Department of Performing Arts at Weber State University, and the director of joBdance, a conceptual site-specific multidisciplinary dance company as our keynote speaker. We will then march through downtown Ogden and will conclude with a survivor speak-out and vigil to honor victims and survivors, where members of the community will be invited to share their experiences and messages of support. Since the 1960s, Take Back the Night has empowered and supported survivors/victims, helped those in pain, and asserted that it is unacceptable for people to live in fear for their safety. Take Back the Night rallies, marches, candlelight vigils, and speak-outs are the means by which we show our solidarity. We invite you to join the movement to end and raise awareness of sexual and interpersonal violence and demonstrate support for survivors and victims on our campus and in our community.

On this day, we gather to end the silence and change the way we respond to sexual assault. We Start by Believing. Please join us in this global message of support for survivors.
We chose this day to build on the momentum that began in April 2015, when State Representative Angela Romero sponsored a resolution to declare the first annual Start by Believing Day in Utah.
While many other communities and states have made similar proclamations, Utah’s resolution took the innovative step of establishing it as an annual event.
We can all help to create this international event, each and every year. We can all Start by Believing.
Date: Monday, April 4, 2022 – Friday, April 15, 2022
Time & Location: Dixie State University
4/4 3 pm – Intro program in Welcome Center, Holland Bldg.
4/4-8 – Exhibit on display in Holland Centennial Commons on DSU Campus
4/11-15 – Exhibit on display in the lobby of the Human Performance Building on DSU Campus
The purpose of this exhibit is to dispel a victim-blaming myth that clothing somehow invites a sexual assault. Victims of crime are not responsible for crimes committed against them. Survivors of rape/sexual assault are often asked by friends and loved ones, “What were you wearing?” We need to avoid victim blaming when we respond to such disclosures. We encourage you to look at these stories and outfits of survivors to see that clothing is irrelevant when it comes to sexual assault. As you read what these survivors shared, please take a moment to reconsider what may be your own long-held beliefs about sexual assault that are, in reality, myths and stereotypes that can aid perpetrators of crime in avoiding accountability for their choices.
