Take Back The Night | Thursday 10/12 | 8pm @ T-Hall Lawn
Rain Date: Thursday 10/19, 8pm @ T-Hall Lawn

Join us for our largest student led event of the year! Every October the UNH community honors Relationship Abuse Awareness Month (formerly known as Domestic Violence Awareness Month-DVAM) by hosting a night filled with interactive awareness-raising activities, a community call to action, student speakers & activists, a candlelight vigil, and open mic time for people impacted by any form of interpersonal violence (sexual violence, relationship abuse, stalking, and harassment) to share. This event draws hundreds of UNH students, faculty, and staff members as people come forward to share their support and be in solidarity with those impacted by violence. Join us for one of the most powerful and important events of the year. This is a Safe Haven event which means it is a space free from mandatory reporting obligations. Confidential SHARPP advocates are available throughout the event to provide support to anyone in need.

Clothesline Project Display | 10/17-10/31 | All day @ The Dimond Library

Stop by the Dimond Library to view our clothesline project display & recommended books + podcasts resource table. SHARPP's clothesline project display dates back to the late '90s/early 2000s, with a large collection of shirts made by and for survivors. Today, the project serves as a way for survivors and their loved ones to share their stories, express their feelings, and raise awareness around interpersonal violence (IPV).
