3. You can organise a Walk for Women yourself.

Scroll down to find out more information on each of these options.

Walk Remotely

Like last year, it is possible for you to join the walk remotely or in a small group. You can access the links below to enjoy during your walk:

• Indian Recipes – An exclusive selection of easy-to-pack Indian recipes for your end-of-walk picnic, specially created for this year’s walk by Pallavi to enjoy.

• Youtube Podcasts & Music – A Youtube playlist of podcasts and interviews on women’s rights in India and Indian music by female artists.

• Spotify Music & Podcast Playlist – A Spotify playlist of podcasts and interviews on women’s rights in India and Indian music by female artists.

For more delicious recipes, you can always have a look in the Madras Café Cookbook 1 or 2, which you can buy here.

Organise your own Walk for Women

We won’t be organising a large Walk for Women at Virginia Water this year, due to the restrictions and uncertainties around COVID. Therefore, we would like to ask our supporters to organise their own Walk for Women for friends, family or colleagues. You can do this entirely how you wish to do so – you can prepare a picnic for your attendees or simply just walk together. You could set up your own JustGiving page linked to the main Walk for Women 2021 JustGiving page. If you have any questions, just click the ‘get in touch’ button below.

If you are happy for other people to join your walk, let us know and we will add your walk to the list above.

We have arranged useful documents which can be found by clicking on the ‘Organise Your Own Walk’ button below. This will lead to you a Google Drive containing:

1. The official Walk for Women 2021 pack – includes recipes for your end-of-walk picnic, links to podcasts and interviews, and Spotify music playlists.
2. The Action Village India handbook – you can share this with your walkers so they know exactly who they are supporting.
3. Text and Images – you can use these for your fundraising page.

For more delicious recipes, you can always have a look in the Madras Café Cookbook 1 or 2, which you can buy here. 

If you need any help accessing these documents, please get in touch with us.

Share Your Walk With Us!

We would love it if you shared pictures or videos of your walk with us, so we can share them on our social media. There are a few ways you can do this.

You can share pictures and videos of your walk via email at [email protected] or you can tag Action Village India on Facebook (@actionvillageindia), Twitter (@ActionVillageIn) or Instagram (@actionvillageindiauk). Make sure to use the the hashtag #walkforwomen2021.
