Male Athletes Against Violence to ‘Walk a Mile in Her Shoes’ at Healthy High

The University of Maine student organization Male Athletes Against Violence (MAAV) will host the awareness event, “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes,” at the Healthy High race on campus at 4:20 p.m. Monday, April 20.

The international event offers an opportunity for men to raise awareness in their community about the serious causes, effects and remediations to men’s sexualized violence against women.

Male UMaine student-athletes will wear red high heels and walk one mile to symbolize the difficulty of being a woman in today’s society due to violence against women.
