Join Sisters Empowerment Network, Inc., and our community partners for the 2023 Walk a Mile in Her Shoes 5K Walk/Run Against Domestic Violence to raise awareness, and support survivors of intimate partner violence. Many of us have family members, friends, co-workers, church members or have ourselves experienced intimate partner violence at some point in our lifetime. Let's run together to show that domestic violence is not tolerated in our homes or communities.

The Annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes 5K Walk/Run Against Domestic Violence is a symbolic gesture of families and communities walking together seeking to raise awareness, provide support and remember those affected by domestic violence.
