For every time we’ve walked home with one headphone in.

For every time we’ve crossed the street or faked a phone call to someone who’s just around the corner.

For every “text me when you’re home safe”.

We are standing together to reclaim the night.

Reclaim the Night is back.

On the 29th November we are taking to the streets to march for an end of gender-based violence and ensure safety and autonomy for all women and marginalised genders in Liverpool. We’re joining forces with JMSU and Liverpool Hope SU to bring this vital event back to our city; the event may have paused but our experiences haven’t changed.

This is a call to action, an opportunity to stand together in demanding an end gender-based violence, to challenge victim-blaming cultures, and to show our city and campuses that the safety of women and marginalised genders should be prioritised. This campaign continues to bring conversations and ongoing issues around safety, visibility and justice for women and marginalised groups in our city.

Together, let’s make Liverpool a place where everyone feels secure and included.

Join us as we reclaim our streets. 

What are we marching for

  • On the streets, women and girls experience misogynistic, gender-based abuse, harassment and unwanted attention from men on a daily basis.
  • 71% of women of all ages have experienced sexual harassment in a public space.  
  • 1 in 5 women will experience sexual violence.  
  • Women and girls should be free to go about their daily lives without fear of harassment or abuse. 
  • Extend Night-Bus Routes for Safer Transport Access - Extend the city’s night-bus routes, such as providing a night-bus to areas like Kensington, to ensure everyone can get home safely after late-night events.
  • Ensure Affordable and Safe Transport in Liverpool’s Night-Time Economy - Make transport home affordable, safe, and accessible for everyone working or socialising in Liverpool’s night-time economy 
  • Work together to ensure a safer student night out.

What is Reclaim the Night?

Since the 1970s, Reclaim the Night has been a powerful grassroots campaign fighting for women’s safety, equality, and the right to walk freely without fear of violence. Originally sparked in the UK by the Yorkshire Ripper murders and widespread harassment, the movement gave women a unified voice to demand safer streets and greater protection under the law. Today, Reclaim The Night marches are held across cities as a bold stand against gender-based violence and discrimination. 

In recent history the event has taken place in our city and on our campuses, in reaction to the #MeToo movement and continuing to demand for women’s safety and equality. But our work isn’t done... and Reclaim the Night is back and bigger than ever.

Important Information

  • The march is expected to be both busy and loud. 
  • Stewards wearing high-visibility vests will be present along the route. The stewards are present to support throughout the event. 
  • In-ear plugs will be provided at the march starting point – please ask a nearby steward for assistance if you require these. 
  • The route will be step-free, though there may be some inclines and uneven surfaces in certain areas. 
  • A route map will be accessible under the 'March Route and Information' tab, and printed copies will also be available.

The event will be photographed and filmed, and content will be used to promote the campaign and future marches.

If you prefer that your image or video not be used, please email guildweb@liverpool.ac.uk with your request and include a photo of yourself for identification purposes.

At both the start and end of the march, you will hear speeches from various speakers. Please be aware that some topics may be distressing for certain individuals. Content warnings for sexual assault, misogyny, transphobia, and racism will be in place.

Support Services

The Guild Advice team are on hand to offer confidential advice service independent from the University. The team can offer support and signposting on a range of issues.
