The 3rd annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Oshkosh will take place at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh May 6.

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes began in 2001 as a way to raise awareness about sexual violence, as well as show how this form of violence affects both women and the men involved in their lives.

The event begins at 4:30 p.m. in the Reeve Memorial Union ballroom. Participation is free, but donations to Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services and Reach Counseling Services will be collected.

The event is hosted by the Women’s Center and is co-sponsored by a collective body of UW Oshkosh departments from across campus.

Though the walk is open to people associated with any gender, men are encouraged to wear high heels and women are encouraged to wear whatever feels comfortable to complete the one mile walk.

There is also a chance for participants to get involved and win prizes this year. Individuals and groups can win prizes for tallest heels, most money raised and largest group attendance. Judging will begin at 4:30 p.m. at the event.
