Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®, The International March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence, is an opportunity for communities to raise awareness about the series causes and effects of domestic violence and sexual assault. Walk a Mile asks participants to throw on a pair of heels and see how it feels to "be in her shoes." It's not easy to walk in those shoes, but it's a fun way to bring the community together around a something that is really difficult to discuss, understand, and ultimately prevent.
This year a team comprised of young Women from the Fairfield area that have been affected, or know someone who has been affected by this type of violence, are raising money that will benefit The Center for Family Justice in Bridgeport.
