Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® is The International Men's March to Stop Rape,
Sexual Assault and Gender Violence. Their mission is to create a
unique and
powerful public experience that educates individuals and communities
about the causes of sexualized violence, provides them with prevention
and
remediation strategies, and empowers them to further develop and
implement their knowledge and skills interpersonally and politically.
Inspired by the old saying, "You can't really understand another
person's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes," men
literally walk
1 mile in women's high-heeled shoes at community events across the
country to help raise awareness about sexual and domestic violence.
Men who are unable to wear high-heeled shoes wear specially decorated
shoes instead. Shoes are typically available for those who do not have
their own.
