Walk a Mile in Her Shoes

The main aspect of the event is that men are asked to walk the mile in red stilettos to advocate for women and other survivors of domestic violence.

The idea was created by Frank Baird, a licensed Family Therapist in California,[2] in collaboration with a rape crisis centre, but has since grown to become an event that can be organized by anyone who wants to help raise awareness and start a discussion on sexual assault and gender-based violence.

The recurring aspects of the event helps shed light on the continued problems of femicide in North America and across the world.

[21] In a thesis written on the issue, questions pertaining to the effectiveness of the awareness on college campuses are indeed useful to the cause and further help the students get educated on the matter or if the event has simply become a "playful" act.

[22] The thesis in which this concern is brought up explores how discussions on "trans-misogyny" and gender aren't being addressed during these events as well as the consequences linked to those conversations not happening.
