YWCA Alliance Walk a Mile in Their Shoes

Walk a Mile in Their Shoes, asks commUNITY members to literally walk one mile in high-heeled shoes. It’s not easy walking in these shoes but it’s a fun gathering and gets the community to speak up on something that can be really difficult talking about: gender relations and gender based sexual violence. By wearing these shoes, participating members symbolically put themselves in the place of victims and survivors of gender based violence.

This event is for the sole purpose of raising awareness about the dire effects of sexual and domestic assault in our community.

We want to thank our community partners:

University of Mount Union and the Alliance Area Domestic Violence Shelter for coordinating this
