Mumbai’s First and Favorite Night Run!

Conceptualized and organized by UACTIV, in support of the Akshara Center, the 3rd edition of “Urban
Feet – Night Run For Safety” is a platform for all aspiring runners and fitness enthusiasts to advance
social causes such as safety, empowerment & equality with an effort to "take back the night" and detach
taboo's associated with the same.

This year, every runner runs as a #VoiceOnTheStreet - a community initiative that advances safety of
civilians in public spaces. Our objective is to bring awareness to how we (women, children and men) can
be more conscious of making public spaces safer for ourselves and others - be it in public spaces or on
roads - and how this consciousness can makes us a happier, stronger and more sustainable community.
Being a Voice - gives each of us a responsibility to stand up & speak up for safety, and act in support of
those who are taken advantage of.

The run sees participation from 150+ children from the Akshara Center, the Mumbai Police as well as
have had celebrities and influencers such as Rahul Bose, Shabana Azmi, Sara Ali Khan, Arjun Kanungo,
Monica Dogra, Yasmin Karachiwala, Cindy Jourdain, etc. Last year we had 1000+ participants.

To advance this effort, we support Akshara Centre via this initiative to raise funds for their efforts to
support safety of women and children from less privileged backgrounds. A fixed amount of every ticket
sold will be donated towards their cause.

This run is supported by Gulf Oil India - a brand which has made its mission to bring awareness and
promote road safety of two-wheeler riders in our cities. And Save The Children India – a non-profit
organization committed to preventing exploitation and all other forms of discrimination of women and
children through its many safety, health, vocational and education programs.

About Akshara Center: The Mumbai-based Akshara Centre grew as result of the contemporary Indian
women’s movement of the 1980s, which primarily campaigned against violence against women. The
organisation was established in 1995 as a resource centre, at a time when women’s rights were gaining
momentum in society and there was a rising need for material from a gender perspective. Their initial
goal was to educate both women and youth on the subject of women abuse so as to rid society off the
same. The organisation also supports girls in completing their higher education, especially those who
need to pay for the same themselves. Their vision is to establish a gender just and violence free society.
