Since 2012, CFJ has held Walk a Mile during Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Awareness Month in April to help raise awareness of the need to end sexual assault in the six communities it serves: Bridgeport, Trumbull, Stratford, Easton, Monroe and Fairfield.
The walk also raises funds for CFJ’s Camp HOPE America-Bridgeport, a camp and mentoring program for kids ages 7-17 impacted by the trauma of abuse. CFJ’s White Ribbon Committee, a group of men committed to ending domestic and sexual violence, organizes Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.
All respectful comments with the commenter’s first and last name are welcome.
