Walk a Mile in Their Shoes

17 Years of Powering Programs and Services for Survivors of Violence

Walk with YWCA Hamilton to create a future free of violence. Now more than ever, women, children and gender-diverse people need support to escape violence and rebuild their lives.

Since 2009, thousands of people have walked in solidarity with survivors of violence and raised more than $1.5M to power YWCA Hamilton’s programs and services.

Join us on June 9, 2026 from 11-1 at the Hamilton City Hall Forecourt for Walk a Mile in Their Shoes.

Because everyone deserves to feel safe.
