Women and students marched through the streets in Cardiff against sexual violence and abuse last Friday.<\/p>\n

The annual campaign organized by Student Life Cardiff University is named Reclaim the Night Wales, showed solidarity and support for all victims and survivors who suffered from violence.<\/p>\n

Women who go to universities and colleges are more likely to experience sexual abuse and violence, with research finding that about two thirds of women on campuses.<\/p>\n

One of the organizers Gwyneth Sweatmqn, also the woman’s officer says, \u201cAbout two women a week die in the UK, thanks to partner violence or ex-partner violence, so it’s really about highlighting this issue, and women and men coming together to say that the time is up for this kind of behavior, and women should be able to feel safe on the streets at night. I think this event will help to raise awareness of this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
