We are very pleased to report that SIXT USA actively supports the valuable “Walk in my Shoes” campaign to raise awareness and educate against child abuse and is considered an official partner of the campaign.  

Lauren Book, Senator from Florida and founder of the “Lauren’s Kids Foundation”, organized the “Walk in my Shoes” campaign and is committed to raising awareness of child abuse. She, her team and supporters walk 1,500 miles across Florida to raise awareness about child abuse. The trail started in Glades City and ended in Panama City on April 27, 2024. The nonprofit organization focuses on educating both children and adults about safety and abuse prevention. Senator Book is herself a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and is therefore actively campaigning. “One in three girls and one in five boys will be victims of child sexual abuse before their 18th birthday,” says Book. Through her campaign she wants to educate people about the issue, raise people's awareness and thus reduce the number of abuses.
