Slut Walks Protest After York University Comment
Toronto marchers staged a run for change calling for men to reject rape culture after police constable Michael Sanguinetti’s January remark that women should avoid dressing like sluts to prevent victimization. Organizers say the term slut is being reclaimed to challenge victim blaming. A similar Ottawa demonstration followed, amplifying the message that clothing does not cause sexual violence and that women deserve autonomy over their sexuality.
