The 1970s was marked by significant student activism on campus. From a push to invest in West Philadelphia to anti-war calls for the University to divest from the military, Penn students made it clear that activism was as much a part of their campus life as their education was.
During this time, one of the most successful movements on campus was the fight against sexual violence. In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April, The Daily Pennsylvanian took a look back at the progression of the anti-sexual harassment and Take Back the Night movement on campus.
Hundreds of students march across campus in support of survivors of sexual assault on April 6, 2023.
