N. Dakota: Another Walk-A-Mile-In-Her-Shoes Event

Story here. Excerpt:

'MOORHEAD – Last Sunday, 230 people registered for MSUM’s third annual “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.” An estimated three-quarters of them were male college students.

The men clearly had fun trying on, showing off and hobbling around in the women’s shoes, but the afternoon spectacle had a bigger purpose – to show that they, too, want to help prevent sexual violence.

“Being of the male gender, I have to assume responsibility on behalf of all men for the fact that we didn’t seem to care that much. It took, for the most part, strong, determined women to say enough is enough, 35-40 years ago,” says Diehl, who’s been working in the field for 25 years.

He says the men he knows and works with are aware of and grateful for the work women have done to raise awareness and prevent violence against women, and they don’t want to come across as trying to take over – they just want to add their voices and work on the problem together.

Although men, too, are victims of sexual assault, statistics from the RACC and local law enforcement continue to show that women still make up the majority.

“It seems clear that it’s my gender who are the primary perpetrators of this violence, whether it’s against men or women. It’s also up to us to try to stop it as well as just make sure there are services available after it happens,” Diehl says.'
