The fourth edition of the Take Back The Night women’s walk will be held September 14 at 6 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall, at 520 St-Philippe St., Alfred. Those needing transportation are asked to call CentreNovas before September 8. For more information, call Jeanne Françoise Mouè at Centre Novas – CALACS francophone de Prescott-Russell at 613- 764-5700 or 1-866-992-7722 extension 222 . Organized by several agencies and the Township of Alfred-Plantagenet, the walk is meant to raise awareness about violence against women, particularly sexual assault whose victims are primarily women and young girls. “It is important to convey the message to the population that sexual violence is no longer taboo. We publicly expose sexual violence and together, we will build secure communities for women and children,” say organizers. Increasing public awareness is a way to build united communities, says Melissa Nadon of Maison Interlude House. “It’s by participating in prevention and educational activities that change can be made in the behaviour and beliefs of the community,” she says. Monique Bastien, representing Alfred-Plantagenet adds: “It offers the opportunity to stand together against violence, harassment and sexual assault that are committed against women. This is everyone’s concern: victims, friends, colleagues and family members.” Transportation is being provided by 417 Bus Line Ltd. while the Knights of Columbus council is donating the use of the hall.
