What are we walking for?

The event utilizes educational speakers, survivor testimonies, and a walk through our community to raise awareness. The Walk’s goal is to raise awareness and educate as many people as possible in our community about the damaging effects of sexual exploitation in hopes to change society’s attitudes.
