 Walk a Mile in Dutchess County

Three cheers from the The Poughkeepsie Journal

To those working to highlight April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Dutchess County officials, members of local police departments and representatives of the Crime Victims Assistance Program and the Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse hosted a news conference last week to call attention to the issue. They noted the local services available to victims.  "It shouldn't be just April that we pay special attention to this. It should be all year round," said Dutchess County Sheriff Butch Anderson.

To raise money for victims, the Crime Victims Assistance Program is hosting an April 30 event called "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes." The old saying, "You can't really understand another person's experience until you've walked a mile in her shoes," is the inspiration for this international walk, which asks men to literally walk one mile in women's high-heeled shoes. High heels can be very uncomfortable, and Old Navy is donating dolled-up flip-flops for guys who don't want to feel the pain. For these guys, they might finally get a true understanding of the bumper sticker that says, "Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did except backward and in high heels."

The entire community, however, is welcome to participate. To sign up for the event, go to www.familyservicesny.org/WalkAMile2011.php or call call Sharon Doane at the Family Services' Crime Victims Assistance Program, 845-452-1110, Ext. 3127.

Come have fun at Crime Victims' Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event!

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes

There’s an old saying: "You can't really understand another person's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes." Walk a Mile in Her Shoes asks men literally to walk one mile in women's shoes. It's not easy walking in these shoes, but it's fun and it gets the community talking about something that's really difficult to talk about: gender relations and sexual violence.

Family Services' Crime Victims Assistance Program’s first annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event will take place at 1PM April 30 at Marist College.  Everyone is invited!  Help us raise awareness and support Crime Victims. 

You can register as an individual or a team.  We’ve got great prizes for walkers who bring in the most sponsorships.  If you don’t have a pair of heels, don’t worry we’ve got a pair of pink flip flops for you!

The International Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence

There’s an old saying: “You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.”  Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® asks men to literally walk one mile in women’s high-heeled shoes.  It’s not easy walking in those shoes, but it’s fun and gets the community talking about a difficult subject--gender relations and sexual violence.

On April 30, 2011, FSI’s Crime Victims Assistance Program will host its first Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event at Marist College.

Walk as an individual or get your friends or club to register as a team. Have some fun as you compete in your red high heels. Get your girlfriends to cheer you on. It's for a great cause -- to raise awareness and funds to stop gender violence. More details to follow.

Everyone is welcome.  We are currently seeking sponsors.  Contact Sharon Doane 452-1110 x3127 or sdoane@familyservicesny.org.
