Marches range in size from year to year and place to place, but the smallest would attract a few dozen people, while the largest would attract tens of thousands.

As a grassroots political movement, SlutWalk has been shaped by local issues, current events, and how the organisers of each march understand sexual violence and rape culture.

In India, the focus has been on dowry traditions and eve-teasing , while Honduras focused on challenging homophobia. What holds all the walks together under one banner though is the commitment to challenging rape culture and myths about the nature of rape — including who is likely to commit it and who is likely to be a victim.

SlutWalk targets rape myths because they prevent people from even recognising sexual assault for what it is. As evidence of this, in August , while SlutWalks were marching into their second year, a year-old high school student in Steubenville , Ohio was raped by two classmates while passed out at a party. During the attack, other party-goers sent out images of and texts about the assault via social media.

No-one attempted to intervene. So yes, there will be trolls. It definitely is not easy to not give a shit. You have to be fully, fully confident in who you are and it took me awhile. I finally got there and it feels great. Are there certain things you tell yourself to stay strong in weak moments?

What is it? But I also remember being the slut-shamer and looking at famous people on TV and judging them. Well, yeah. But you still clap back at comments from people who judge you for having " too many men ".

I have only been with four guys! You just assume. And for you to assume, you just slut-shamed me on top of assumption, which has no merit. I literally laugh it off, I swear to God. All the time. How is that coming along? About 2, people took part in a "SlutWalk" in Boston on Saturday.

Boston organiser Siobhan Connors explained: "The event is in protest of a culture that we think is too permissive when it comes to rape and sexual assault. Police Constable Michael Sanguinetti had been giving a talk on health and safety to a group of students at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto when he made the now infamous remarks.
