Keep us posted on how many femicides this prevented

This is a group of male MPs parading around a Parliament Hill conference room in pink high-heeled shoes to “spread awareness on violence against women,” according to Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, who put it online. 

The Hope in Heels event has been happening on Parliament Hill for some time, but this video in particular has gotten singled out for scorn. It rapidly became one of the most viewed things Alghabra has ever put on the internet, largely from people decrying it as a tad condescending. 

“Keep us posted on how many femicides this prevented,” commented Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
