In April 2011, a team of five people put together SlutWalk Toronto,
a protest responding to slut shaming and victim blaming culture,
exemplified by a recent event at Osgoode Hall Law School at York
University. In the name of campus "safety," Toronto Police
Constable Michael Sanguinetti advised "women should avoid dressing
like sluts in order to not be victimized." The sentiment of those
in the over 3000 person crowd that day were shared by folks around
the globe - leading to over 200 SlutWalks internationally and the
establishment of "SlutWalk" organizing groups. This collection
engenders a critical engagement with the global phenomenon of the
SlutWalk movement, considering both its strengths and limitations.
The chapters take up SlutWalk through a feminist lens (broadly
defined) considering SlutWalk as a successful social movement, a
site of tremendous controversy, and an ongoing discussion among and
between waves of feminists across the life cycle and across the
globe. Through poetry, photography, scholarly articles, creative
non-fiction, personal essays, the collection seeks to unpack the
discursive performance of SlutWalk as well as explore the
experiences of people who attended various and diverse SlutWalks
marches/protests in North America and Asia.
