Victoria Chapter 4th Annual Red Pashmina Walk

September 10, 2023 @ 10:00 am UTC+0

We invite you to join the Victoria Chapter of Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan (CW4WAfghan) in our 4th Annual Red Pashmina Walk to raise awareness of the denial of rights for women and girls in Afghanistan, and to raise funds for CW4WAfghan’s programs.

Join us as we walk in solidarity with Afghan women and girls, who are bravely fighting for their fundamental human rights.

Registration in-person will be at 10 am in Irving Park, SW corner of Menzies and Michigan in James Bay, with Introductory Remarks at 10:20 am by CW4WAfghan Executive Director Lauryn Oates, and the 2.5 km walk beginning at 10:30 am. All are welcome.  We encourage you to wear a red pashmina and a white top. Pashminas, as well as our Knowledge Tree mugs, will be available for purchase at the registration table for $30 each, should you wish.  There is a BC Transit bus stop nearby and we encourage you to take the bus.

The Red Pashmina Walk originated in Peterborough, Ontario, in 2010, and continues under the name Red Pashmina Inc. which is an incorporated brand name and may not used without permission of Red Pashmina Inc.
