WOMEN from across Reading are invited to join in a march and rally this Friday, as part of the Reclaim The Night initiative.
Organised by Reading Labour, the event starts at Queens Walk at 6.15pm. Women will then walk to the Old Town Hall Square for some speeches.
Among the speakers will be the mayor of Reading, Cllr Rachel Eden, and Natasha Irons from Merton Council.
The rally is part of the Reclaim The Night initiative, which dates back to the 1970s, partly as a response to police warning women not to go out at night due to violence, assaults and murders.
The original organisers said women should be able to walk anywhere and should not be blamed or restricted because of male violence.
Reading’s event, on December 2, is expected to last an hour.
