What is Slutty?
Singapore will be holding its SlutWalk on Dec 4, 2011, at Hong Lim Park. There will be fringe events like SlutRide, SlutScreen and SlutTalk, starting from Nov 12, leading to the SlutWalk main event. More details can be found on the SlutWalk SG Facebook page created by social worker and part-time lecturer, Miss Vanessa Ho.
SlutWalk first started in Toronto Canada after Const. Michael Sanguinetti from the Toronto Police remarked at a University safety forum that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized". Elsewhere around the world, SlutWalks were also held to protest against sexual violence.
