There is an old saying: “You can't really understand another person's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes.”

That’s why we’re asking men & women and self-identified men & women at Ryerson University to put on a pair of shoes (anything from high heels to flats to flip flops) or just wear your own shoes and COME JOIN the Ryerson White Ribbon Campaign to Walk A Mile in Her Shoes!

On Thursday September 29th, we’re all going to help end violence against women & girls and all gender-based violence, one step at time.

The fundraising and awareness-raising event asks men to reflect on the everyday realities for women and literally walk a mile in her shoes. This event does not seek to suggest that all women wear high heels or that wearing heels for a moment provides a full understanding of what it’s like to be a woman here in Toronto, or worldwide.

…but it's a step, and a declaration to take a step… it is a symbolic gesture and a statement that you want to stand up and start making a difference.
