Walk a Mile in Her Shoes – Sylvan Lake

May 27, 2019 | 10:18 AM

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. 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 sexual violence.

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. 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 remediation to sexualized violence.

Join us June 13th, 2019 we embark on our 2nd Annual Walk in Sylvan Lake. The funds from this walk go to supporting the different programs and services which are offered at The Outreach Centre. Last year, over 200 men “Walked the Walk.” Will you be one of those Men who strives to make a change?
