  • Description
    Since 2001, men, women, and their families around the world have joined award-winning Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®: The International Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence. It is a dramatic opportunity to raise awareness in your community about the serious causes, effects, and remediations to men's sexualized violence.
    Men cannot end sexualized violence without undoing patriarchy. Patriarchy is a social system that privileges men with power. With that power comes the requirement to dominate others in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social superiority, property control, and sexual supremacy over women. Men do not volunteer for patriarchy; they are born into it and subjected to masculinities dictated by patriarchy.
    While men benefit from patriarchy, they also suffer from patriarchy's restrictive gender identities and roles. Misunderstanding the responsibilities given to them by patriarchy or acting out from the suffering caused them by patriarchy, men must learn to take better care of themselves and others. Men must become leaders in undoing patriarchy and ending sexualized violence.
