SlutWalk is a movement that manifests itself as protest marches against explaining or otherwise excusing acts of sexual assault by making reference to a person’s appearance. The movement began in Toronto after a Toronto Police officer suggested that “women should avoid dressing like sluts” if they wanted to remain safe. In Washington DC, the event, called “SlutWalk DC”, was held on August 13, 2011. The group met up under cloudy skies at Lafayette Park, across the street from the White House. The overarching message was that a person’s body is solely their own, and that no one should be allowed to engage in sexual activity with another person if they do not have the other person’s consent. The message of the group went further to indicate that consent for sexual activity is something that is expressed – never implied – and that nothing about how a person is dressed is automatic consent for sexual activity, and that rape is never the fault of the victim. The event took a sex-positive stand, but sex-positive only with expressed consent. While the message of SlutWalk was serious, the mood, however, was light. People were smiling, and the signs were creative and colorful. The participants’ attire ranged from plain to, in keeping with the idea that an outfit is not an invitation for sexual activity in and of itself, quite revealing.
