Stop employers from forcing women in the workplace to wear heels causing permanent damage

The Issue

GLOBAL WOMENS HEALTH & RIGHTS ISSUE! SAVE OUR SPINES & FEET from employers sexist, barbaric, gender discrimination high heels policy! Casinos & Employers around the world are responsible for the PERMANENT DAMAGE to the spines and feet of thousands of women! MUST SEE VIDEO

 

 

MAKE the "men" wear heels! MGM National harbor in Oxon Hill MD and hundreds of employers across the nation are mandating that female servers wear high heels or be terminated. Thousands of women all over the nation are being forced to wear heels to work to appeal to the sexual desires of male executives or as they put it "appearance standards". This only applies to female servers not men. Wearing heels for more than an hour daily will change your bone structure eventually causing permanent damage such as scoliosis, Plantar Fasciitis, and Sciatica. It causes permanent damage to the spine and feet. Many women are forced to resort to surgery, even after surgery women are left with lifetime damage. Why should you be forced to choose between your health and your job. Forcing women to wear heels for any amount of time is detrimental to their health especially when they're the average American working 40 hours a week, but required by employers to wear heels however the males in the workplace get to wear comfortable flats/sneaker like shoes. Casinos and many Employers across America are causing permanent damage to their employees emotionally and physically. Women are being fired for not adhering to the demands of employers forcing them to wear shoes that cause severe pain and a plethora of health issues

Podiatrist say high heels immediately shift your entire body weight to the ball of your foot, when it should be on the heel of your foot. This puts more stress on your knees. Your lower back and chest are pushed forward, throwing your spine out of alignment. And worst of all, foot pain may strike at any time. 

Prolonged wear of high heels is linked to a long list of foot injuries, like fractures, bunions, and the afore-mentioned strains and sprains. They’re behind the most common emergency room visits for women, and over time, can weaken the muscles and tendons in your legs, ankles, and feet.
