KAUA’I COMMUNITY COLLEGE will be hosting a Walk a Mile Event on Friday, April 15, 2011.  “A Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® Event is a playful opportunity for men to raise awareness in their community about the serious causes, effects and remediation to sexualized violence.”

WHY WALK: Sexual violence affects not only women but men who care about women.  The walk is about getting men involved in putting an end to sexual violence in our community.  The Walk helps men better understand and appreciate women’s experiences, gain a new perspective, help improve gender relationships and decrease the potential for violence.  It demonstrates that men are willing and able to be courageous partners with women in making the world a safer place.

ROUTE:  START from the One Stop Center around the Learning Resource Center bldg and END at the One Stop Center.
