Domestic Violence Awareness Month · October 2026

Walk to End Silence

Turning silence into collective power.
On October 3rd, we’re walking together — from the Windsor riverfront to Mackenzie Hall Cultural Centre — in memory of Sahra Bulle and in support of the Sahra Bulle Foundation’s work to end gender-based violence. This isn’t an invitation-only ask. It’s open to everyone: donate what you can, then choose how you want to take part.
Not in Windsor? Start your own walking group in your city and join us in spirit on October 3rd — every step and every dollar still counts toward the same goal. Start a team, name it after your city, and walk together wherever you are.

What Is the Walk to End Silence?

Donate what you can. Once you’re signed up, you decide how you want to show up — walk quietly in support, start your own fundraising page, join a team, or start a team and invite others. Every dollar raised directly funds the Sahra Bulle Foundation’s education programs, the annual conference, and community courses that are changing how institutions respond to gender-based violence.

The Celebration — A Gathering in Her Honour

This is not a gala. It is a gathering — warm, cultural, and deeply personal. We are celebrating Sahra the way her community celebrates: with food from her culture, with music, with traditional Somali dance, and with the people who loved her and love what she stood for.

Traditional Somali Lunch

A communal meal prepared in the tradition of Somali hospitality — generous, warm, and shared.

Traditional Dance

A cultural performance honouring Sahra’s heritage and the community she came from.

Community Acknowledgement

Every walker and fundraiser is recognized — your part in the day named and honoured.
