( ( ( ConsentEd ) ) ) - ConsentEd. Stop Rape Now. SlutWalk. SlutWalk is a transnational movement[1] of protest marches which began on April 3, 2011,[2] in Toronto, Ontario, with subsequent rallies occurring globally.[3] Participants protest against explaining or excusing rape by referring to any aspect of a woman's appearance,[4] and call for an end to rape culture.[5] The rallies began after Constable Michael Sanguinetti, a Toronto Police officer, suggested that "women should avoid dressing like sluts"[6][7] as a precaution against unwanted sexual attention.

The protest takes the form of a march, mainly by young women, where some dress as "sluts" in revealing attire. Inception[edit] Constable Michael Sanguinetti[edit]
