Red Pashmina Walk

Red Pashmina Walk


The Red Pashmina Walk has taken place annually in Peterborough, Ontario since 2011 under the banner of the Peterborough chapter of Right to Learn Afghanistan (formerly known as Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan) and Red Pashmina, and celebrates connections among Canadian women and women in Afghanistan.

This year, for the first time, the Red Pashmina Walk is being held across the country with walks taking place in Ottawa, Toronto, Saskatoon and Vancouver, as well as in Peterborough!

Through the generosity and enthusiasm of the Peterborough community, along with hundreds of participants of all ages and genders, this event has raised closet to $40,000 for women & girls’ education in Afghanistan throughout the years, and has inspired other walks as far as Victoria, BC.
