Will you #WalkInHerShoes this March?
Across the world, women are leading the way. Leading the fight to end poverty. Leading the fight against climate change. Leading the way out of conflict.
But wherever women walk, they find danger. When a woman in Gaza walks to her children, she faces destruction and hunger. When a woman in Sudan walks to find water, she might come back empty handed.
With your help, we can change this.
To mark International Women’s Day, join CARE International UK and walk, wheel or run a distance of your choice throughout March to raise money for women facing crisis and conflict.
You'll receive a free T-Shirt when you raise £50. So what are you waiting for? Sign up to Walk In Her Shoes today!

Step 3: Plan your challenge!
You can take part in Walk In Her Shoes however and whenever you like during the month of March. Will you try and cover your distance all in one go, or take it a few miles at a time?
We’ll send you information and inspiration to help you plan your challenge and keep you going. You’ll receive fundraising ideas and you’ll unlock exclusive content along the way, hearing about the journeys of incredible women who've made a journey through crisis. You'll hear about their life, their journey and their dreams for the future.
As a thank you, when you raise £50 or more, we’ll send you a free T-shirt to help spread the word while you walk.
