WALK YOUR WAY
Whether you’re walking solo, with a team or with your workplace, every step helps create safer futures for women and children.
Walk solo
Walking solo? You’re in good company. Many participants walk on their own in solidarity with women and children escaping violence.
Walk as a team or workplace
Bring together friends, family or workplace and fundraise as a team. More people means more impact.
WHAT IS WALK FOR WAGEC?
When a woman leaves a violent partner, she often faces immediate risks to her safety, housing and financial security.
Escaping violence is only the first step. Recovery takes time, support and access to safe, specialist services.
By breaking the cycle of violence, we can build safer futures and work towards ending this national crisis.
