AHMEDABAD, FEB 22
United Sisters Foundation in association with Ahmedabad City Police organised a 3-km Pinkathon run called ‘Reclaim The Night.. Run!’ on Sindhu Bhavan Road in Ahmedabad on Friday, a release said.
The first edition of Reclaim The Night.. Run!, a midnight run was flagged off by the Pinkathon Ambassadors. It saw the participation of 150 women which was organised in support of the Bajaj Electricals Pinkathon presented by Colors.
The run is a symbol of reclamation, empowerment, and the start of a new movement. Every woman who becomes a part of this run learns that all spaces are theirs to be claimed and it is time to forego the stereotype of a woman being confined to the indoors after dark.
Every woman who becomes a part of the Reclaim The Night.. Run!, learns that all spaces are theirs to be claimed and it is time to forego the stereotype of a woman being confined to the indoors after dark. The Police are always there to protect us, but it is our duty as citizens to do everything we can to help them. As long as guidelines are followed and appropriate precautions are taken on a personal level, there are no spaces that cannot be explored, no avenue that cannot be touched, and no one that can be stopped from exercising their free will.
With this step of the Reclaim The Night.. Run!, we hope that this picture of women standing their ground permeates through society and this restriction of not being allowed to move freely after midnight is quashed.
