Men in the Arkansas Tech University community will have an opportunity to raise awareness about the causes and effects of violence against women during the 2019 ATU Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event on Monday, March 4.
The walk will begin at 2 p.m. at Hindsman Tower. It is open to students, faculty and staff.
Frank Baird, a licensed therapist and counselor from California, created Walk a Mile in Her Shoes in 2001.
“What started out as a small group of men daring to totter around a park has grown to become a worldwide movement with tens of thousands of men raising millions of dollars for local rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters and other sexualized violence education, prevention and remediation programs,” reads a portion of the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes national website.
