Why Red Shoes?

Red shoes have become a powerful global symbol in the fight to end gender-b ased violence. Inspired by artist Elina Chauvet’s installation “Zapatos Roj os” (Red Shoes), which began in Mexico to honor the memory of women lost to femicide, these striking red shoes represent both the absence and the voic e of those who have suffered. Each pair stands as a silent witness to pain, loss, and injustice—but also to resilience, resistance, and the demand for change.

By wearing or displaying red shoes today, we walk in solidar ity with survivors. We acknowledge their stories, we honor their courage, a nd we commit ourselves to a world free from violence, where safety, dignity , and justice are rights for all.
