Schedule, speakers, performers and more info

The March to End Rape Culture (#MTERC) is an event raising awareness about rape culture and its effects across society. This annual event is a monumental occasion for Philadelphians to learn about the widespread issues related to rape culture—a culture where sexual violence is accepted as a part of everyday life—and what is being done to end it. It is a supportive and empowering place for survivors of rape and abuse across all backgrounds to speak out and be heard, and a place for survivors and their advocates to connect with a wide variety of local activists and resource groups.
