For healing, it informs the community that services are available for recovery. For preventive education, it helps men better understand and appreciate women’s experiences, thus changing perspectives, helping improve gender relationships and decreasing the potential for violence. How do you get people talking now, so they can prevent it from happening? And if it's already happened, how do you help them recover.Ī Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® Event is abundant with opportunities to get people talking. People that have experienced sexualized violence themselves want to forget about it. People unfamiliar with men's sexualized violence against women don't want to know it exists. Unfortunately, it's difficult to get people talking. While hidden away, sexualized violence is immune to cure. It's critical to open communication about sexualized violence. It's not easy walking in these shoes, but it's fun and it gets the community to talk about something that's really difficult to talk about: gender relations and men's sexualized violence against women. There is an old saying: "You can't really understand another person's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes." Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® asks men to literally walk one mile in women's high-heeled shoes. 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 men's sexualized violence against women. All of our services are confidential, free, and available to anyone who’s experiencing domestic violence, homelessness, poverty, and many other barriers faced in challenging times.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 Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence.
