Join the International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence and “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" on April 28, 2016 at the University of Southern Indiana.

Men will literally walk one mile in women’s high heeled shoes on the University of Southern Indiana campus to protest rape, sexual assault & gender violence.  Men, women and children are invited to participate in the Walk planned by Albion Fellows Bacon Center and USI’s Sexual Assault and Gender Violence Prevention Group. Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding, Mayor of Evansville Lloyd Winnecke, Evansville Police Department Chief Billy Bolin, and other men are going to walk in high-heeled shoes to raise awareness about rape.

Registration for the Walk will begin at 5:00 p.m. at Carter Hall on USI’s campus. After the walk, Wedding, Winnecke, and Bolin will pledge with students and community members to make a difference.

The Walk is organized by Albion Fellows Bacon Center and the University of Southern Indiana Sexual Assault/Gender Violence prevention group and sponsored by a number of USI campus organizations, including Fraternity and Sorority Life of USI, USI Student Government Association SOS Grants, and Student Housing Association of USI.  Community sponsors include Holly’s House, Fraternal Order of Police #73, Lampion Center, YWCA, Boyd Electric and SouthWest Graphix among others.
