Slut WalkThe Slut Walk took place in London at 1pm on Saturday the 11th June 2011. According to the BBC over 5000 people gathered at Trafalgar Square.

Similar Slut Walks are taking place all over the world. The Slut Walk is a protest against sexual violence, and more specifically against blaming the victim for the crimes committed against him or her.

The first slut walk was sparked in Toronto after a policeman advised school students not to “dress like sluts” to avoid rape and sexual assult. Slutwalkers believe that the message shouldn’t be ‘Don’t Get Raped’ but ‘Don’t Rape’.

Whatever someone wears, whether it’s a short skirt, tight jeans, a low fitting top or heels it’s not an invitation for sexual assault.
