Standing Against Gender-Based Violence: Findlay Personal Injury Lawyers’ Proud Sponsorship of “Walk a Mile in Their Shoes”

At Findlay Personal Injury Lawyers, our commitment to supporting our community extends far beyond the courtroom. We believe that true justice means taking a stand, especially when it comes to advocating for those affected by gender-based violence. That’s why we were proud to sponsor the YWCA Hamilton’s powerful annual event, “Walk a Mile in Their Shoes.”

This impactful initiative invites participants to walk a symbolic mile, raising awareness and critical funds to combat gender-based violence. The event not only shines a light on a pervasive social issue but also encourages dialogue, empathy, and community responsibility.

What Is “Walk a Mile in Their Shoes”?

“Walk a Mile in Their Shoes” is a movement organized by YWCA Hamilton. This community event challenges traditional ideas of masculinity and calls for men and allies to join in solidarity with survivors of gender-based violence.

Participants take to the streets to start conversations about the realities that women and gender-diverse people face every day. From harassment to intimate partner violence, this walk offers a visible, bold way to offer support to affected individuals. 

Why Findlay Supports This Cause

As a personal injury law firm rooted in principles of advocacy and fairness, we understand the profound impact that gender-based violence can have, not just on individuals, but on families and communities as a whole. 

Our team at Findlay believes in fostering a safer, more equitable future for everyone. Supporting “Walk a Mile in Their Shoes” aligns with our mission of standing up for justice inside and outside the courtroom.

Our sponsorship of this event is a reflection of our ongoing dedication to community engagement and social responsibility. It’s one way we can use our platform to amplify a message that needs to be heard: gender-based violence must end, and we all have a role to play.

Findlay’s Involvement: Walking the Talk

The 2025 edition of “Walk a Mile in Their Shoes” was held in downtown Hamilton and brought together hundreds of enthusiastic participants, donors, and supporters. Findlay’s presence was felt throughout the day—from signage to sponsorship acknowledgments and the physical turnout of our staff.

It was an event filled with unity, empathy, and purpose. Whether you were cheering from the sidelines, walking in solidarity, or contributing behind the scenes, your support helped raise vital funds for YWCA Hamilton’s programs.

YWCA Hamilton provides essential services for women and families affected by violence, including emergency shelter, transitional housing, and counselling. The funds raised through this event help ensure these life-changing programs can continue and expand.

Memorable Moments From the Mile

Participants of all ages gathered in bold footwear, and each step was a symbol of compassion and change. One of the highlights was seeing young allies walking proudly beside their parents, showing that change begins with the next generation.

Many attendees stopped by the Findlay booth to express their appreciation for our support. Seeing the community come together around such an important cause reaffirmed why events like these are so crucial.

How You Can Make a Difference

Raising awareness is just the beginning.

  • Volunteer your time or services.
