Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® is an opportunity for women, men and families to raise awareness in their community about the serious causes & effects of rape, sexual assault, and gender violence. RCIS asks men and women to walk one mile in women’s shoes through downtown Westminster. The walk starts and finishes at Westminster City Park.
Nationwide, 1 in 6 women, and 1 in 33 men will experience attempted or completed rape during their lifetimes (www.rainn.org/statistics) and, unfortunately, we know Carroll County is no different. Events like Walk a Mile in Her Shoes show local victim-survivors that we support them and are taking a stand against sexual violence. It is also an important fundraiser to support the free services RCIS offers to victim-surviors and their loved ones.
