The Peel Committee Against Woman Abuse (PCAWA) hosted its annual Take Back the Night event at Ken Whillans Square on Thursday night. Over 100 women and their supporters came out to the event.

Take Back the Night is an international event that raises awareness about the issue of gender-based violence.

In Peel four women have been murdered since January 2019, and women gather at Take Back the Night to demand an end to all forms of violence against women in Peel.

They were joined by Sarah Singh, MPP for Brampton Centre, and Rowena Santos, regional councillor for Wards 1 and 5.
