Georgia Southern to Host Walk A Mile In Her Shoes®

Men on campus are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone in high heels during the third annual Walk A Mile In Her Shoes® event on Thursday, April 9 at 5 p.m. at the Russell Union Rotunda.

Walk A Mile In Her Shoes® is an international event that asks men to don women’s high-heeled shoes in order to raise awareness and encourage communication about gender relations and sexual violence.

The event is hosted by the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART), the Counseling and Career Development Center, University Wellness Program, Health Services, Fraternity and Sorority Life, the Multicultural Student Center, University Housing, Sexual Assault Student Educators, and the Department.
