In Her Shoes
Inspired by the saying “you cannot understand a person’s experiences until you have walked a mile in their shoes,” men at Honolulu wore women’s high heels in a march across campus to educate and rally the community to take action to prevent sexualized violence against women. Interim Chancellor Michael Rota was joined by deans, campus leaders, students, women and children in the march.
Before the march speakers addressed participants about the dangers of rape, sexual assault and gender violence.
“One in six women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime, and college-aged women are four times more likely to be assaulted,” says Director of Student Life and Development Emily Kukulies. “That is why the march is taking place on the campus.”
“The community may not realize how sincerely dedicated the men of Honolulu Community College are to violence prevention. Our community believes in safety,” said Kimberley Gallant, a mental health and wellness counselor at Honolulu CC.
