Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®: The International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence continues to gain widespread support from men, women and families who want to help raise funds for the White Ribbon Campaign–the largest movement of boys and men working towards ending violence against girls and women, achieving gender equality and creating a new vision of masculinity. Toronto’s event takes place on Thursday, May 21 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. starting at Yonge and Dundas Square.

Though the event is initiated by men, everyone is welcome to literally walk a mile in women’s high-heeled shoes (which are encouraged, but not necessary). Men, women, friends and families can all sign up for the walk as teams or individuals and help raise funds for sexualized violence education, prevention and remediation. Visit walkamiletoronto.ca to register and help Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® Toronto achieve their goal of raising $200,000 to support White Ribbon.
