[email protected] essay Men wear high heels while marching against abuse

A group of women march with a banner during the International Men’s March in Sherman Oaks on Saturday.

Women supported the men who walked in high heels by walking alongside them during the march and acting as their crutch. A pair of high heels are a little too big for this man’s feet.

Men, women and families supported the Inter- national Men’s March on Saturday to stop rape, sexual assault and gender violence. The event was sponsored by Valley Trauma Center, Sherman Oaks Galleria and the Chronicle Business Group of CSUN, and was held at the Sherman Oaks Gal- leria fountain. Men led the march in high heels to get the feeling of walking in “her” shoes. High heels were provided and worn by most men to support the cause and get the word out about gender violence. A rally took place at 11 a.m. and the event concluded at noon with a march that stopped traffic on Ventura Boulevard, from Sepulveda Boulevard to Columbus Avenue. All proceeds for the event will go to benefit the Valley Trauma Center to help, heal and educate others on the issue.

Sabrina Feten, project coordinator of Project D.A.T.E at CSUN, helped pass out the high heels for the men to wear during the march. Daily Sundial • CSUN • Thursday, May 1, 2008 • 9
