Charity Run to Stop Domestic Violence

24 Dec

Following our last year’s success, we are happy to see that this year we had a far greater response from corporates and their employees who came forward in great numbers with unparalleled zeal to participate in the 3.5 K charity run and 10 K run as a part of Pune International Marathon held on 7th December 2014.

With more than 100 employees from 6 organizations i.e. Vodafone, Vanderlande, Sulzer, Burchardt compression, VMWare, and FIAT, running under the banner “#DomesticViolenceHasToStop” employees raised awareness about the persisting condition of domestic violence in India.

As per the last government study, one woman out of every three women in India between the ages of 15 to 49 has experienced physical violence. One woman in four suffers violent abuse in India and cannot count on getting help. AID FOR Change supports those affected to build a new life and raises awareness about this issue through the campaign “DomesticViolenceHasToStop’ Aid For Change received an appreciation trophy at 29th Pune International Marathon for having more than 100 participants for charity run.

“Big thanks to all the corporates and their employees for supporting us by participating in the event and making it a success”.
