Milford Rape Crisis Center to hold 5th Annual

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes

Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence

The Rape Crisis Center of Milford will hold its 5th annual “Walk A Mile In Her Shoes: The Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence” event on Sunday, April 10th, beginning at 1:00 pm. Participants will stroll one mile from Lisman Landing, around the Green and back to Lisman Landing while wearing a pair of woman's shoes. Walkers are asked to use their imagination in choosing footwear.  The event is held rain or shine.

This lighthearted event is held each year to encourage men to put themselves in the shoes of a woman who has been sexually assaulted or harassed, however, registration is not limited to men. Everyone is welcome to walk.

This year’s Walk is sponsored by Star 99.9, 99.1 WPLR, Stonebridge Restaurant and The Milford Bank. Generous donations have been received from UNO’s Chicago Bar and Grill and the SportsCenter of CT. There is no registration fee, but each walker is encouraged to collect sponsorship donations. Prizes and awards will be given out to the biggest team, most money raised, highest heel plus more. All registered walkers who collect at least $20 in donations will receive a free tee shirt to commemorate the event. Please contact our office at 203 874 8712 or www.rapecrisisctr.org to register.
