what they saw as problems in blaming sexual assault victims. Since then, SlutWalks, organized mainly through social media,
have been held in Dallas, Asheville, N.C., and Ottawa, Ontario. Organizers say the events also were held to bring
attention to “slut-shaming,” or shaming women for being sexual, and the treatment of sexual assault victims.

Following Boston, SlutWalk marches are planned in cities including Seattle; New York; Chicago; Philadelphia; Reno, Nev.; and Austin, Texas.
