Join the Women's and Girls' Emergency Centre (WAGEC) at Walk for WAGEC. We're calling on our community to walk to end violence against women and children, and we're looking for passionate volunteers to join our Walk Crew and assist with the event!
Walk for WAGEC brings the community together to raise funds and call for an end to violence against women and children. Walk for WAGEC is a 5km walk or 10km run around Centennial Park, Sydney.
