WHAT
SLUTWALK first began in Toronto, where on January 24th, 2011, a representative of the Toronto Police gave shocking insight into the Force’s view of sexual assault by stating: “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized”.
SLUTWALK HOBART exists to condemn victim blaming and sexual violence, to empower survivors of sexual assault and to involve our community to keep its members safe. We are walking to spread the word that our clothes are not our consent and that sexual assault is NEVER justified and victims are NEVER at fault.
