In Her Shoes
In Her Shoes is an interactive presentation that fosters empathy with victims of domestic violence. Participants move, do, think and experience the lives of battered women. It is the experiential nature of In Her Shoes that allows participants to understand the severe challenges faced by battered women and to answer for themselves that enduring question: Why doesn't she just leave?
For information on scheduling a speaking engagement please call the Newhouse Volunteer Coordinator at (816) 474-6446 x225.
