Slutwalk Protest Gears up Across the World

SlutWalk, a movement started after a policeman advised women students in Canada to "avoid dressing like sluts", is gearing up across the world.

The Slutwalk protest that began on April 3, 2011 in Toronto became a huge movement across the world.

Constable Michael Sanguinetti on January 24, on crime prevention at a York University safety forum said: "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."

Thousands of people mainly women have taken part in SlutWalk protests, to highlight the injustice of blaming the victim rather than the rapist or abuser, local media reported.
