The SlutWalk protest marches began on April 3, 2011 in Toronto, Canada and have since become an international movement sparking rallies across the world.
The SlutWalk rallies protest the belief that female rape victims are "asking for it".
The original march walked from Queen's Park to the Toronto Police Headquarters located on College Street.
All sexes, races, and sexual orientations were represented, and the attire of the marchers ranged from conservative to revealing to zany.
The protesters marched in response to remarks made by a Toronto Police officer that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized", and also in response to comments made by a Manitoba judge when giving a convicted rapist a sentence of house arrest.
The convicted rapist says to the judge, " But judge, it wasn't my fault. She was dressed so sexy."
The judge responds, "She's a nun. She was dressed in a nun's habit."
The rapist exclaims, "Yeah, she was almost as sexily dressed as those Muslim women you can only see their eyes!"
