Walk A Mile In Her Shoes^®

This event asks men to walk a mile in women’s high-heeled shoes. Walking in women’s shoes helps men better understand and appreciate women’s experiences, thus changing perspectives, helping improve gender relationships and decreasing the potential for violence.

This year, approximately 300 people participated in Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® at UMKC. Their participation helped raise awareness of rape, sexual assault, and gender violence.

All proceeds benefit the UMKC Violence Prevention and Response Project.
