On Thursday, April 23, the Marshall University ROTC Thundering Herd Battalion will host “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®: March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence” in conjunction with the Marshall Police Department, MU Women’s Center and CONTACT Rape Crisis Center.
Inspired by the saying that you can’t understand someone else’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in his or her shoes, this event invites campus and community members to raise their voices for active change on this front.
In the past, men and women of Huntington and Marshall of all ages and backgrounds have participated – including athletes, professors, policemen, administrators, those in business and students. The walk will be held at noon, with registration starting at 11 a.m. on the student center plaza near Starbucks. Heels will be provided at registration.
