In April 2011, a team of five people put together Slut Walk Toronto, a protest responding to slut shaming and victim blaming culture, exemplified by a recent event at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. In the name of campus "safety, " Toronto Police Constable Michael Sanguinetti advised "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order to not be victimized." The sentiment of those in the over 3000 person crowd that day were shared by folks around the globe – leading to over 200 Slut Walks internationally and the establishment of "Slut Walk" organizing groups. This collection engenders a critical engagement with the global phenomenon of the Slut Walk movement, considering both its strengths and limitations. The chapters take up Slut Walk through a feminist lens (broadly defined) considering Slut Walk as a successful social movement, a site of tremendous controversy, and an ongoing discussion among and between waves of feminists across the life cycle and across the globe. Through poetry, photography, scholarly articles, creative non-fiction, personal essays, the collection seeks to unpack the discursive performance of Slut Walk as well as explore the experiences of people who attended various and diverse Slut Walks marches/protests in North America and Asia.
