Slutwalk, Johannesburg

 

 

I found this *cough cough* interesting campaign on Facebook!

 

"PLEASE NOTE: AUGUST 20TH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF RAMADAN, SO WE ARE CHANGING THE DATE TO MOST LIKELY EITHER 17 OR 24 SEPTEMBER, TBC ASAP. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE WHILE WE TRY TO ORGANIZE THE MOST INCLUSIVE EVENT POSSIBLE.
Exact location TBC
LET'S UNITE AGAINST VICTIM BLAMING AND SHAMING AND AGAINST ACCEPTABILITY OF ANY FORM OF RAPE

We want you. Yes, YOU! The one in the afro, and you in the 3inch heels and you in the wheelchair, and ...you, with your entire extended family... you, reading this, male, female, transgendered, HUMAN, if you believe that no-one deserves to be raped, regardless of what they might be wearing, or doing, or their sexual orientation, or their gender, come as you are, come as you want to be, come as you were. We want you to walk with us. We want to walk with YOU!
We are asking you to join us for SlutWalk Johannesburg to make a unified statement about sexual assault and victims’ rights and to demand respect for all. Whether a fellow slut or simply an ally, you don’t have to wear your sexual proclivities on your sleeve, we just ask that you come. Any gender-identification, any age. Singles, couples, parents, sisters, brothers, children, friends. Come walk or roll or strut or holler or stomp with us. This has become a global movement, with Satellites happening all over the world. Help make our voices heard in Jozi.
BLAME THE PERPETRATOR, NOT THE VICTIM!"

 

I'm in complete support of the idea behind this walk. Labelling it a Slutwalk though...not so sure. I'll probably make my way down there just to catch a glimpse of the freaks who'll surely grace the slutwalk!!
