This event is geared to raise awareness and open up the conversation about sexual violence by having men walk the route in women\u2019s shoes, as women line up and support their walk. \u00a0We will host a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/a\/acu.edu\/forms\/d\/1-ouR9bHLrpKdMgXkkQeYLNMS_qARy_yh6BOSFzLzoek\/viewform\">short walk<\/a>, on campus and would appreciate support from both male and female faculty and staff.<\/p>\n<p>Every two minutes someone in America is raped. One in six American women, and one in four college females are victims of sexual assault. That means someone you know, someone you care about, has been or may become the victim of sexual violence. It may be your mother, your sister, your friend, your girlfriend, your wife, your coworker, or your daughter. By opening up communication concerning this issue, we hope to facilitate how we as a university might effect change in our world concerning this topic.<\/p>\n<p>We are seeking your help in a few ways.\u00a0 Please support this effort by informing students of the event and promoting participation. We are also looking for some faculty\/staff men who are willing to walk the walk, and faculty\/staff women to help us cheer them on. This is an important conversation to have and we would love your support and participation.
