Women’s Aid and Concern: Walk A Mile In Her Shoes

Saturday, September 13, 2014

Each year, an ever-increasing number of men, women and their families are participating in “Walk a mile in her shoes” events all around the world. The first walk occurred in 2001 and since then has moved around the globe taking place on all continents.

This September will be the first time “Walk A Mile In Her Shoes” will take place on a national level in Ireland, seeing Women’s Aid partner with Concern for the aptly named initiative.

It is an opportunity to raise awareness in the Irish community about the serious causes and effects of domestic and sexual violence against women both in Ireland and internationally.

“Walk A Mile In Her Shoes” takes place on Saturday September 13th in Dublin, Cork and Galway and is an opportunity, especially for men, to show support and solidarity with women on domestic and sexual violence.

Each walk will begin to set out at 12pm sharp on the 13th of September at each of the three venues. We would love as many people as possible to be in attendance at each one so bring all your friends, families, colleagues, even acquaintances to support you. Ultimately it is a fun awareness and fundraising event for each organisation and in no way is this a competitive event. We’ll have entertainment at the start and finish to keep everybody amused.

For further information relating to the event, as well as details on how to sign up, and how to start fundraising, please visit walkamileireland.ie.

All funds raised are split evenly between Women’s Aid and Concern.
