Posted by SOURCE Writers

Last month several hundred people gathered to ‘reclaim the night’ – part of a worldwide protest to mark the UN day to End Violence Against Women. The SOURCE was there taking pictures in solidarity.

Reclaim The Night, Brighton

An early start with around one hundred people turning up to show their support by around 5:45pm, which escalated to somewhere between 400-500 people half an hour later.
