Everyone has been talking about it, so what is Walk-a-Mile in Her Shoes?

You guessed it – you literally walk a mile in her shoes – but what is it for? Well, Walk-a-Mile is an international event in which people come together to show their support for the victims of sexualized violence, gender-related assault, and rape. You take a walk in someone else’s shoes and by doing so, you are raising awareness for issues considered too sensitive to discuss in polite company. By being a part of this event, you are helping to break down societal walls.
USFSP Women Empowerment Club
