April is sexual assault awareness month. So, what does that have to do with high heels or even shoes? Well, more then you think.
Last Saturday a 20-year-old University of South Dakota student was walking home to her dorm when a man grabbed her from behind and threw her to the ground. The two struggled, and she struck his face with one of the high heel shoes she was carrying. The suspect fled.
At March 12 some men slipped on women’s pumps at the University of Montana on Wednesday as part of the “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event. The event was part of a national movement to raise awareness about sexual assault, as well as an effort to raise money for the UM Student Assault Resource Center’s prevention efforts and advocacy services.
And last but not least on April 16 there will be a “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event again. This time in Aiken, SC. More info in the video.
