Walk a Mile in Her Shoes


A walk that encourages men to lend their voice to end gender violence will take place next month in International Falls.

The "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" is organized by the Friends Against Abuse.

Executive director LeeAnn Meer says this year's walk will be an international affair.

"We are partnering with Fort Frances to do this," says Meer. "We have the groups over there, Victims Services and some of the others group, we are working with and planning it. Hopefully they will be joining us with the walk over here. So we are really reaching across borders to discuss a topic that really needs to be discussed."

The event takes place April 28
