Have you ever wished you could put a man in your shoes (literally) for just one day? How about one mile? Well, this very dream recently came true for a group of women in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this weekend when several hundred men walked a mile in women’s shoes. The event raised several thousand dollars for domestic violence awareness in Milwaukee. According to reports, 1 in 3 women become victims of domestic violence, a problem which leaves scars both physically and mentally.

The men of Milwaukee, Wisconsin aren’t the only guys stepping up to increase awareness of domestic violence; male students at the University of Arizona are walking in women’s shoes as well.
