More than 1,300 walk to raise awareness against sexual violence

FAIRFIELD — More than 1,300 people walked down the Post Road on Saturday — many of them men wearing towering red high heels — in support of The Center for Family Justice’s 6th annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Event. Led by Fairfield Police Chief Gary MacNamara, this year’s walk showcased the role men, boys and widespread community support can play in helping to break the cycles of sexual violence. The walk, CFJ’s signature fundraising and awareness event during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, raised $30,000 for the Bridgeport-based nonprofit, which provides crisis and supportive services to victims of domestic and sexual violence and child abuse in the communities of Bridgeport, Fairfield, Easton, Monroe, Stratford and Trumbull.
