WOMEN will not put up with violence and fear any longer. This will be the message of a national anti-rape demonstra tion called for 20 January.

On Hallowe'en last October a Reclaim the Night demon stration through Soho •Was attacked by the police. Severa women were injured and some 15 arrested.

The national demonstration has been called jointly by the defence committee for the women attacked on Hallo we'en and by the National Union of Students.

Women students have bee organising against assaults tha occur on campuses. At Susses University, for example, they demanded public telephones more high security genre classes and protection.

At the last NUS conference the strength of opinion on th issue ensured the success of a motion calling for the union to arrange and support a national Reclaim the Night demonstration.

The march will leave Leicester Square, London W1 at 6.30pm on Saturday 20 January.
