On April 16th, 2011, men from all over Chattanooga will literally walk one mile in women's red high-heeled shoes through Coolidge Park. This is a protest for rape, sexual assault and gender violence. Everyone is able to walk. This can include student groups, church groups, and men from all walks of life are scheduled to march. The proceeds from sponsored walkers will benefit Partnership's Sexual Assault Center violence preventions efforts and rape services in the Greater Chattanooga Area. This is a light hearted way to discuss the issue of rape and sexualized violence in our community.Registration will be available online at http://www.walkamilechatt.com/ and is $25 for men, $10 for women and children 12 and under are free. Shoe rental is additional $5. Men will receive a free, commemorative t-shirt with registration and they will also be available for purchase at the event.
