Walk-A-Mile in Her Shoes is an event held on October in honor of domestic violence awareness month. Walk-A-Mile is an event where men come together and pledge their commitment towards working together and ending violence against women. Based off the premise that you don't know someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes, men that participate will be wearing women's heels, wedges, pumps, and stilettos and walking a "mile"(approx. 1/8th of a mile) to show their support and commitment. This year we will be having a post-walk celebration where participants can hang out and enjoy some music, games, contests, drinks, and snacks. We will also be passing out special prizes for any men who can walk an actual mile with their heels on! All women's shoes will be provided for all men to borrow at Walk-A-Mile but if you would like to bring you own pair of pumps, you are more than welcome to do that!
USF's Walk-A-Mile is sponsored by the student organization N.I.T.E.(Network. Improve. Transform. Empower.) and co-sponsored by the Center for Victim Advocacy and Violence Prevention office and REAL-Relationship Equality and Anti Violence League at USF.
Walk-A-Mile will be starting at Noon in the Marshall Center Amphitheatre at USF Tampa Campus we welcome all USF students, faculty, staff, and any community members that would like to come out and show their support!
The keynote speaker for this years WAM will be Audrey Mabry who is an amazing woman and advocate in the Tampa Bay community! We will also be having male guest speakers who will be announced shortly.
With previous attendance numbers averaging around 400-500 people, WAM has been an amazing event where men and women come together to raise awareness on a very important issue!
