There’s an old saying: “You can’t really understand another person’s experience unless you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.” These words are quite true and that is why team PR In Canada is taking part in this very important cause. We’d love for you to support our efforts and it is really simple:
- Make a financial contribution (any amount helps), visit Walk A Mile In Her Shoes to make a donation today
- Come down to Yonge/ Dundas Square and watch Team PR In Canada on September 30 as we get out our best high heels and “Walk A Mile In Her Shoes“
“Walk A Mile In Her Shoes” is part of the White Ribbon Campaign.

Background on the White Ribbon Campaign
What is the White Ribbon Campaign (WRC)?
The White Ribbon Campaign (WRC) is the largest effort in the world of men working to end violence against women (VAW). In over fifty-five countries, campaigns are led by both men and women, even though the focus is on educating men and boys. In some countries it is a general public education effort focused on ending violence against women.
How did the WRC get started?
In 1991, a handful of men in Canada decided they had a responsibility to urge men to speak out about violence against women. Wearing a white ribbon would be a symbol of men’s opposition to violence against women. With only six weeks of preparation, 100,000 men across Canada wore a white ribbon, while many others were drawn into discussion and debate.
