SlutWalk comes to Montreal

 SlutWalk made its way to Montreal on Sunday. Around 300  people started marching from Peace Park on St. Laurent  Street.

 Their goal was to take back the word slut, and allow women  to look and feel sexy without being sexualized.

 Organizers believe that women should never be blamed for  rape committed against them, regardless of how they dress  or act. 

SlutWalk originated in Toronto in January, when an officer told a group of students that they can avoid being raped if they did not dress like sluts. SlutWalk marches have already been held in the United States and England. 

The event’s Facebook page said that people should be allowed to dress as they please without the fear of being harassed or assaulted. 

The march ended with a party at Le Drugstore bar. All proceeds went to Stella, an organization that represents sex workers and fights for their rights.
