WHY HEELS

You can't understand a victim's why or how until you've walked a mile in their shoes.

Walking in heels can be tough, just like facing abuse. This community event encourages participants to step out of their comfort zone and walk – just one mile – in solidarity with victims and survivors.

 

This is more than just a walk. It’s uplifting to see community members not only willing to listen but also taking action, forming alliances and demonstrating commitment. This team-building event sparks vital conversations about various forms of abuse, both before the event and long after.

 

The visual impact of this public statement on listening, learning, allyship, and commitment is remarkable. It engages the community in discussions about human trafficking and the different forms of domestic violence. ​ ​

​

OBJECTIVES OF WALKING A MILE IN A VICTIMS SHOES ARE TO:​​

​

  • Create an unforced and necessary conversation on how participants can help prevent violence.

  • Raising awareness and fostering empathy.

  • Encourage participants to actively think about what they can do in their personal and/or professional lives to help prevent violence against women.

  • Begin a discussion and analysis of common perceptions about violence against women.

​​​

WHO PARTICIPATES IN WALK A MILE IN A VICTIMS SHOES?  

Walk A Mile In A Victims Shoes is designed to engage and inspire to action a wide range of people, institutions, organizations, and community members to include elected officials, police officers, teachers, and other service providers.

​

Together, while walking “in the shoes” of DV victims and survivors who have experienced violence, we show the community that we will not stand by silently.

 

Walk A Mile In A Victims Shoes is not recommended for youth under the age of 18 or for victims currently experiencing violence as the exercise may provoke strong triggers.​​

​

  • REGISTER BEGINS SATURDAY 3/1/2025 to be guaranteed an event t-shirt and event bag. After this date fees increase and you are not guaranteed a shirt.   

  • DECORATE YOUR SHOE: We are encouraging people to decorate their shoes, no matter what the style, in a way that represents them and/or the survivor they are walking for. We will have a few prizes for the Best in Show.  

  • Team Ticket:  We LOVE teams and the excitement they bring!  However, the different tickets have caused some confusion in the past. This year, there is no separate team ticket, and the price is the same for all registrants. When you purchase your ticket, you will be prompted to create / join a team if that is how you prefer to walk. Prizes will be given to the team captain for most money raised.
