Created by Cherished LA, A Walk in Her Shoes is an interactive art exhibit conveying the stories of women who have survived human trafficking, sexual exploitation, addictions, and life on the streets.  The purpose of A Walk in Her Shoes is to raise awareness about human trafficking, and the connection between childhood sexual abuse and the sex industry.

Displayed on each white pillar are the actual shoes worn by survivors during their time in the sex industry.  Using a smartphone and the provided headphones, visitors scan the QR Code on the front of each pillar to listen to each survivor's story in her own voice.

Each story is unique, yet they all share a common thread of resilience and strength in the face of adversity. As you walk through the exhibit, you can feel the weight of the stories, but you also feel a sense of hope and inspiration. These survivors have faced unimaginable challenges, but they have also found a way to persevere and overcome. It's a reminder that we are all capable of enduring and triumphing over difficult circumstances. The exhibit serves as a powerful testament to the human spirit and the power of storytelling to connect and heal.
