Male lawmakers face backlash for wearing pink heels to support anti-violence against women campaign on Twitter.

Male Canadian lawmakers faced backlash on Twitter after wearing pink high heels as part of the "Hope in High Heels" event to raise awareness for violence against women. While some criticized the event as ineffective, others expressed outrage at the male lawmakers for wearing heels. The event came just days after a transgender woman was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a women's shelter in Ontario.
