Men raise awareness for domestic abuse by walking in women's shoes

Story here. Excerpt:

'EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) - Some men came out Tuesday night to try and stop domestic violence, rape and other crimes against women, and they did it by putting on heels.

"It's an important issue," U.S.I. student Jon Steiner said. "It's ignored, I think. It doesn't get as much attention as it should."

"This is an opportunity to poke a little fun at us, to have some fun at it and also to replay that adage that says, 'you don't understand my life until you've walked a mile in my shoes,'" Sheriff Eric Williams said.

So, Tuesday afternoon, Sheriff Williams put on some gold pumps and joined a crowd of men as they literally walked a mile in women's shoes.
...
"Men are the perpetrators of a vast majority of these crimes," Williams said.'
