3800kms, 260 days on-foot across INDIA to fight violence against women
I decided I am not going to wait for another chance or another life. I had to do it today.
We cannot start on this journey without your help, looking forward to your support!
Our Goal
This September I will be walking 3800 km (2300 miles) from Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu (South India) to Srinagar, Kashmir (North India). On this through hike, I wish to collect ONE BILLION STEPS, towards making India a safer country for women.
How will we achieve our Goal?
We will be on the road for 260 days, walking from one city to the other. During this walk our team of Arrows will be -
- Conducting Workshops on financial and digital literacy to empower women
- Build an extensive volunteer network of changemakers on-ground who will continue the mission
- Document stories through shooting a documentary feature film.
What do we need from you?
They say it takes a village to achieve a task well! We need the changemaker from every corner of the world to succeed here!
Please CONTRIBUTE FUNDS, as much as you comfortably can, to help us organise our MARCH.
We need a sum total of INR 100,00,000/USD 150,000 to organize this grand march successfully. Share our story on your social feeds. We will need each one of you to discuss what we are setting out to do. We need you to sign up. Show us your faith and join our hands. By adopting this digital movement, people across the world will be propelled to kickstart change.

Dear Friends,
On 30th April in Srinagar, Srishti Bakshi and Team CrossBow Miles walked their final joyous steps in the 3800 km journey across India towards the safety and empowerment of women. A journey that began 8 months ago, traversed 12 states and directly touched the lives of over 85,000 people.
Thank you for the support and encouragement that saw us through every step of the way! And this journey, it has only just really started!
We have so much to do now - 110 workshops worth of data to collate and analyse, 123k people on social media to build networks with, and 108 million steps on the CrossBow Miles app to convert into the next big disruption in crowd funding.
We have succeeded in what we set out to do because of your affection and blessings, and we would love for you to join us as we cross over from one chapter in the CrossBow Miles journey to the next.
Regards,
Srishti

CrossBow Miles is now on the last leg of its 3800 km on-foot journey from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, after crossing the 3000 km mark. Srishti Bakshi is now marching upwards and onwards through Haryana, Punjab and finally onto J&K.
This came on the back of an action-packed stay in Delhi. Team CrossBow Miles met the President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind who reiterated his support to the campaign, with valuable suggestions on growing and motivating the volunteer network.
The movement also got tremendous international recognition. Srishti got the highest accolade from the British Commonwealth, receiving the Commonwealth Points of Light award for India from the British High Commissioner, Sir Dominic Asquith, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen.
CrossBow Miles used the time in Delhi to impart what it had learnt through practical experience and observations of the problems faced by women in India and possible solutions.
We participated in the Gender Equality Summit by the United National Global Compact Network India, an ITC knowledge roundtable with noted lawyers and women leaders, #SHEROESHours, a multi-city event to #PressforProgress on the occasion of International Women's Day and many more thought-provoking workshops and interactions.
The standout events in Delhi where the heart and the mood of the city were so visible were the Public Wall Painting at Sarojini Nagar market where over 300 people painted messages of gender equality and the Public Night Walk where over 15,000 people rallied together to reclaim the night as a safe space for women and children.
With both public events, the atmosphere was distinctly electric with the energy and determination to bring about change in society and make it safer and better for women.
Please do join in this movement. Every step you take goes towards building a safer and better India for women and girls and brighter future for all.
