"SlutWalks" international protest movement
The creation of Slutwalks came about after a Toronto police officer told a group of university students that women should avoid dressing like "sluts" to avoid being raped. Advocates in Toronto held a “SlutWalk” to protest the officer’s remarks and to highlight 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. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2011/05/0...lutwalk-march/ Following Boston, SlutWalk marches are planned in cities including Seattle; New York; Chicago; Philadelphia; Reno, Nev.; and Austin, Texas.
