Walk a Mile in Her Shoes: Male attorneys march in high heels to raise awareness of violence against women

Male attorneys strapped on pairs of high heels to shed some light on violence against women during a Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event in Chicago, Illinois on June 14, 2018. Just under a dozen men from the Chicago Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section participated in the one-mile march from Daley Plaza to the Hyatt Hotel.

Attorney Jonathan Mraunac (c.) was among the men to walk to bring attention to violence against women during the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event on Thursday. The heels were purchased from stores that donated a part of the sale to the Walk A Mile Organization.

Despite having some trouble balancing, participants like attorney Octavio Duran (r.) walked one mile around Chicago’s Loop for the greater good.
