In September 2017, hundreds of Harcourts staff, family, friends and community groups across Australia will walk down a different path and once again join forces with White Ribbon Australia to take a stand against violence.

In 2015 and 2016 over 800 Harcourts staff, family, friends and supporters across Australia “walked a mile” in women’s heels to show solidarity and bring attention to the national tragedy that is violence against women. Our events set a new White Ribbon record for a Community Fundraising Activity, and this year we hope to set a new milestone for this worthy charity.

This year’s “Walk a Mile in Their Shoes” will be held across Australia on Friday 1st September, with all participants encouraged to wear heels and walk along a designated public route, to raise our goal of $100,000 for White Ribbon Australia nationally.

100% of funds raised will be donated to White Ribbon’s “Breaking the Silence” programme in primary and secondary schools across Australia, aimed at creating generational change in attitudes toward violence.
