It seeks to realize substantive gender equality,\u201d El Hitti noted.<br \/>  <br \/>  The event also features a set of other activities including entertainment acts, music performances and a blood drive for local NGO Donner Sang Compter (DSC). \u201cWe partner with DSC in all our events and activities because we believe in the cause of voluntary blood donation and are regular blood donors. Giving blood is a form of support for the community and the presence of DSC in our event is a natural fit,\u201d he added.<br \/>  <br \/>  And if you\u2019re still wondering where to find the right pair of heels (shopping for size 45 heels is no regular business to say the least), Uf Concepts has got you covered. They actually came up with their very own shoe line, designed exclusively for the event.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cThere are no high heels on the Lebanese market that would fit men shoe sizes, so instead of leaving everyone clueless as for where to find heels for the event, we manufactured red heels sized 41 to 45 in Lebanon,\u201d El Hitti explained. Heels will be sold at both Le Mall Dbayeh and Sin El Fil on two consecutive weekends: April 11-12 and April 18-19, from 1 to 8 p.m. <br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cEvery month in Lebanon, one woman is killed due to domestic violence. Every year in Lebanon, 1100 abused women refer to KAFA for help. Every year in Lebanon, 2700 abused women call KAFA\u2019s hotline for guidance,\u201d El Hitti told Beirut.com.<br \/>  <br \/>  But before rushing to talk the talk, you might want to start by walking the walk. \u201cEach year, an ever-increasing number of men, women and their families are joining the award-winning Walk a Mile in Her Shoes initiative [worldwide]\u2026 and Beirut will always be a trendsetter in the region when it comes to advocacy and social awareness,\u201d said El Hitti.<br \/>  <br \/>  <i>Stay in touch with Walk a Mile Beirut\u2019s latest updates through the event\u2019s
