PURPOSE

Our experience tells us that Walks-Runs are a great motivating unifying activity. 

This Walk- Run is not just a physical activity. We walk for her Safety is our Priority

It is for something bigger, more important; it is to create a Safe world for Women.

PLAN

We request Inner Wheel Clubs around the World to organise Walks-Runs  

• Getting Men on board, Engaging Men and boys as allies 

• Reaching beyond Inner Wheel. Invite and engage others

• Getting collaboration from other organizations and collaborate with them 

• Involving Government departments, 

• Involve the local community, so we can create greater awareness and make an impact.

IMPACT

When large numbers of people unify for a cause, society and governments will sit up to observe and take action.

A Simple but Powerful activity is Walks/Runs

Walks are Easy to set up, but the Impact is deep.

Tips to organize from our Experience: 

• Choose a Suitable Route

Look for:

• Parks

• Pedestrian paths

• Community walking areas.

• • Always check local rules or get permission.

  • 2.5 km route preferred (but keep it participant specific)

  • Accessibility is crucial (no stairs/steep areas or you will need to have help available).

  • Volunteers for Traffic safety and general assistance to be placed at regular intervals

  • Route should be planned, plotted and shared through a common app.

  • If there is no registration amount, you will probably attract more people.

(optional donations via QR codes can be an idea)

Keep the Route Clear and Visible

Signages should be placed so each one is visible from the previous location.

Thus, there is no confusion and the walk continues comfortably.

Use the Signage to Spark Awareness

Each signage can have an awareness message to cover the following 

• Engage Men & Boys as allies

• Education on Respectful Relationships

• Invite &Engage others in the events
