Every pair of red shoes tells the story of a life cut short, and those who painted them at the Cave Hill Campus of The University of the West Indies on Friday were told not to let the gesture become mere tokenism.
Students, women’s advocates and international partners gathered for “Paint the Shoe Red”, a symbolic event to raise awareness of gender-based violence and to remember women and girls who have died through femicide and gender-based violence.
