Subject: Alternatives to Walk a Mile in Her Shoes

Hi all,

 

We’ve had student organizations who want us to partner in “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” events on campus in the past, and while the events tend to raise good publicity, they have the potential to do so at the expense of promoting gender stereotypes—and in the worst case scenario, even making fun of women.

 

Does anyone have experience with alternatives and/or modifications to Walk a Mile in Her Shoes that they would be willing to share?

Many thanks,

-bob
