Walk-A-Mile In Her Shoes raises domestic violence awareness

Story here.

'The streets of downtown Roseburg were filled with men walking in high heels Friday afternoon.

It was an unusual scene but it was all for a good cause and a few good laughs.

The Walk-A-Mile In Her Shoes campaign provides men a chance to help raise awareness about violence against women.

"It’s important to take some of the stigma away from that topic,” said Battered Persons’ Advocacy sexual assault services director Cheryl Newell. “If we can talk about violence in our community without shame, without being embarrassed, then we can start talking about solutions."

The money raised stays in Douglas County and benefits the Battered Persons’ Advocacy.'
