What is a Slut Walk?
A Slut Walk is a protest against explanations or excuses for rape and sexual assault. The goal of the March is to challenge rape myths, including the idea that rape is a response to women’s attire or appearance. It is a call to end the rape culture that permits, excuses, and condones sexual assault.
The protest takes the form of a march where some individuals are dressed in “slutty” or provocative attire. Participants typically hold signs that challenge rape myths (e.g. of a rape myth: "women who wear short skirts are asking for it") and promote ideas of sexual consent (e.g., "no means no” or, even better, “yes means yes”). The goal is to raise awareness and challenge ideologies that permit sexual assault, victim blaming, and slut shaming.
