📅 Saturday, October 18, 2025
🕙 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 City Hall Civic Square, Downtown Cambridge
Walk A Mile in Their Shoes is YWCA Cambridge’s annual community fundraising walk and a bold, public stand against gender-based violence (GBV). It’s a powerful, visible act of solidarity. On October 18, we’ll 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 women’s emergency homeless shelter
Free, violence prevention education with youth across Cambridge
