- Join the Boston University Women's Center in a march and vigil to protest and
- raise awareness of sexual assault and violence against women. An open-mike
- rally will be held at Marsh Plaza, Nov. 18, from 7:00 to 7:30, and will
- feature speakers from several BU organizations and the Boston Area Rape Crisis
- Center. The rally will be followed at 7:30 with a candelight vigil and march
- for women during which women will be able to share their experiences in a safe
- and supportive atmosphere. There will be a "rape culture" workshop for men
- led by Tim Anderson from 7:30 to 9:00 during which men will be able to discuss
- violence against women and sexuality in our society. This event will be
- informative and powerful, and everyone's voice is welcome. If you would
