Sexualized violence does not just affect women. It affects the men who care about them, their families, their friends, their coworkers, and their communities. Sexualized violence is epidemic. Some of the statistics: In Canada, police reported more than 22,000 sexual assaults in 2010. This represented an increase of 5% in the rate since 2009, the first increase in sexual assault since 2005.That means someone you know, someone you care about, has been or may become the victim of sexual violence. It may be your mother, your sister, your friend, your girlfriend, your wife, your coworkers, or your daughter.
With this being said, we are asking men in the community to walk 1 mile in red high heels to show their support on ending sexual violence towards women! Come out, come all and help us bring awarness to our community! Sexual violence is not just a women’s issue, it affects us all!
A BBQ will be provided for FREE for each participant in the walk!
