WE Walk: Strides Against Violence
National Walk Organized by UN Women USA
October 1 – December 10, 2021
Join UN Women USA for WE Walk: Strides Against Violence, our first-ever national walk during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. Be part of this all-inclusive effort: we invite all genders, all generations, all nationalities and all abilities to participate and support this critical and positive effort. Make friends, grow your knowledge, and take strides to end violence against women and girls worldwide.
One in three women worldwide, around 736 million, are subjected to physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner or sexual violence from a non-partner.
Let’s move the needle and change that statistic. Join WE Walk: Strides Against Violence to increase awareness and support UN Women's work that prevents violence against women, needed now more than ever in the wake of the global pandemic.

In-Person Walk
The community's safety is our primary concern. We are hoping to have an in-person event in early December along with a virtual walk option. If COVID-19 restricts us from doing so, this will be virtual walk.
What is a Virtual Walk?
We want to encourage you to get moving to end violence in any way that is meaningful for you - and to get your friends and colleagues to join or support you. That might mean one big walk together, or a solo walk each day. You can participate inside, or outside - alone, or together. You’ll be helping to raise awareness about the root causes of gender-based violence, adding momentum to our cause! And you'll have an opportunity to reach out to friends and family and colleagues, encouraging them to participate or donate and learn more about the real root causes of violence.
When you sign up to participate in WE Walk, you'll get your own online page to post your goals and show your progress. After you've set your fundraising target, tell the world: share your link with your network and invite them to donate to you, or perhaps even join and start their own WE Walk page. On social media, share your pics and tag #walk4women #stridesagainstviolence.
Help our Chapter, our National effort, and help reduce gender-based violence.
Watch for October 1 kick-off messages and events and sign-up now!
