12 September 2011Walk a Mile in Her Shoes - Hebden Bridge
Again we're holding the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes on November 12th this year. We're looking for real men - Men who aren’t afraid to slip on a pair of heels and strut their stuff on the streets of Hebden Bridge. Men who aren’t afraid of speaking out against male violence against women.
Entry forms can be downloaded from here.
