Women hoping to Reclaim the Night

Rotherham’s second Reclaim the Night event will remember Hasina Idris Mohamed (52), who was knocked down and killed in August.

Organisers are also appealing for nominations of women who are community angels to acknowledge the contribution made to their communities.

The walk around Rotherham town centre on Friday (25) will begin at the town hall from 6pm, returning at about 7.30pm for soup and speeches.

A workshop will be held at the town hall from 5.30pm to 7pm on Tuesday to make lanterns to carry on the walk.

Cllr Emma Hoddinott, one of the organisers, said: “Reclaim the Night is an opportunity to gather alongside other women to raise issues about women’s safety.

“It will be one of many Reclaim the Night events happening all over the world and this year will include a memorial to Hasina Idris Mohamed, who was killed near Clifton Park.

“We are also collaborating with the Festival of Angels, so we are seeking your nominations for women who are community angels. 

“We would like to recognise as many as possible on the night and beyond.”
