Walk A Mile in Their Shoes is YWCA Cambridgeās annual community fundraising walk and a bold, public stand against gender-based violence (GBV). Itās a powerful, visible act of solidarity. On October 18, weāll walk a symbolic one-mile route through downtown Cambridge to raise awareness, raise funds, and raise our voices. Every step helps women, girls, and gender-diverse people access safety, shelter, and support.
All proceeds directly fund:
A 24/7 emergency womenās emergency homeless shelter
Free, violence prevention education with youth across Cambridge

- Only 13% of shelter beds in Canada are dedicated to women
- A woman or girl is killed every 48 hours in Canada
YWCA Cambridgeās youth programs reach kids as young as 8, but rely on community support to keep going.
