Free to Run’s mission is to advance gender equity globally through running.
They do this by providing leadership and wellbeing programs, in conjunction with running experiences, for adolescent girls and young women in conflict areas like Iraq and Afghanistan. Free to Run participants are typically refugees, internally displaced people, and those who identify as ethnic minorities.
The end goal is a shift in gender equality with a specific focus on the expansion of access to public space, and leadership opportunities for young women.
