The Victor Walk is a national movement powered by an Orange Wave of Courage, the Victor Walk gives a voice to those affected by the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.
An update on Victor Walks:
You may or may not know, but Breaking Free is run by a small group of volunteers, and with lack of funding and resources the past couple of years, it has become increasingly difficult for us to plan for a week-long tour like we used to. That being said, we are looking to host special rallies with organizations who would like us to visit and share our message. We are more than willing to explore traveling where it makes sense, so please reach out if you’re interested in bringing the Victor Movement to your hometown.

The Victor Movement was created by Theo Fleury in 2013 to raise awareness for those affected by child sexual abuse. The national success of the first Victor Walk is what triggered the creation of our entire foundation.
Since 2013, we have been working to keep the momentum high with the community we’ve built up together. A national movement powered by an Orange Wave of Courage, the Victor Walk sees Breaking Free Foundation giving a voice to those who have been affected by trauma throughout their lifetimes.
Supported by communities across the country, the Victor Walk is an annual awareness initiative and is recognized as a national movement and is hoped to change the way Canadians understand the effects of childhood trauma*.
We encourage you to join your own community walk, or join us in-person this year. Find out how you can organize a Victor Walk in your area by filling out the form below, and be a part of one of the greatest teams ever assembled to make a difference on behalf of childhood trauma.
FACT: One in two girls and one in three boys falls victim to unwanted sexual advances before the age of 18. It has become clear that Canadians must rally together to take a stand against childhood rape.
FACT: 60% of rape victims are under the age of 17.
FACT: Sexual assault refers to all incidents of unwanted sexual activity, including sexual attacks and sexual touching. Sexual assault = rape.
