Each year, an ever-increasing number of men, women and their families are joining the award-winning Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®: The International Mens March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault Gender Violence. A Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® Event is a playful opportunity for men to raise awareness in their community about the serious causes, effects and remediations to sexualized violence. First You Walk the Walk: There is an old saying: You cant really understand another persons experience until youve walked a mile in their shoes. Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® asks men to literally walk one mile in womens high-heeled shoes. Its not easy walking in these shoes, but its fun and it gets the community to talk about something thats really difficult to talk about: gender relations and sexual violence.
