A global movement to alter the attitudes of sexual violence and victim-blaming will return to Winnipeg streets on September 15.
The SlutWalk was sparked after a Toronto police officer told a group of university students last spring to not “dress like sluts” to avoid being raped.
The Winnipeg SlutWalk organizers are a diverse group including a wide range of ages, education and experiences — each with their own individual goals and agendas for the event.
The walk will begin at the Law Courts at noon and will end at the Manitoba legislature.
