The Walk a Mile in Her Shoes campaign was created by Frank Baird in 2001. What started as a small group of men daring to walk in 4 inch red high heels to prove a point has now grown into a worldwide movement with thousands of men raising millions of dollars for local rape crisis centers and Domestic Violence shelters?
In 2007 Frank formed Venture Humanity, Inc. a non-profit 501 (C) (3) Corporation. Venture Humanity, Inc. develops peace, violence prevention education and community projects.
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is a campaign to inform the world of the valuable contributions men are making to stop sexualized violence in their own communities.
The East Texas Crisis Center supports this campaign and recognizes that sexualized violence reaches both men and women. If such a campaign existed where women could Walk a Mile in His Shoes, the East Texas Crisis Center would support that campaign as well.
ETCC urges all men in Henderson County to take a stand against sexualized violence and show your support May 30th, 8:45 a.m. @ the courthouse square by wearing red high heels.
Thank you,
