In Her Shoes is more than a simulation—it’s a powerful, eye-opening experience that invites you to walk through the life of a domestic violence survivor. Participants are faced with the same impossible choices survivors must make every day—choices about safety, children, finances, and survival. Each step reveals just how overwhelming, complicated, and heartbreaking it can be to leave an abusive situation.

This experience opens hearts and minds, helping our community understand the strength it takes to survive and the barriers that stand in the way of freedom.

The YWCA St. Joseph is honored to bring In Her Shoes to the community, businesses, and organizations throughout the area during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

If you, your business, or your organization would like to take part—or if you’d like more information—please reach out to Brit at bbaker@ywcasj.org or 816-232-4481. Together, we can deepen understanding, build compassion, and create a stronger, safer community for survivors.
