Clarksville, Ark.-Members of the University of the Ozarks Student-Athlete Advisory Committee joined other community members to participate in the "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" campaign Saturday, April 23, at U of O's Hurie Athletic Complex.

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is a playful opportunity for men to raise awareness in their community about the serious causes, effects and remediations to men's sexualized violence against women.
    
Kesha Boen, a Sexual Assault Advocate from the Ozark Rape Crisis Center in Clarksville, started the event with an overview of the activity and the campaign. The participants then walked around the Hurie Field Complex.

Frank Baird created Walk a Mile in Her Shoes in 2001. What started out as a small group of men daring to totter around a park has grown to become a world-wide movement with tens of thousands of men raising millions of dollars for local rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters and other sexualized violence education, prevention and remediation programs.

On Friday, Dorinda Edmisten, Ozark Rape Crisis Center Executive Director, spoke on campus about the NCAA's "It's On Us" sexual assault campaign.
