Think YOU have what it talks to walk a mile in her shoes?  The Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Men's March, hosted by Western Men Against Violence, asks men to literally walk one mile in women's high-heeled shoes to bring attention to something that can be difficult to talk about: violence against women.  But as hundreds of men take to the streets, the message will be heard loud and clear, "We are ready to end violence against women!"  Show your support for ending violence, raise money for Dometsic Violence and Sexual Assault Services (DVSAS), and be a part of the fun!

How to Walk the Walk

When and Where: Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Men's March will be held on Saturday, April 17 and begins in Red Square at WWU.  Registration and pre-march rally begin at 11am.
