Photos: Slutwalk

By AroundPhilly Staff | Published: August 8, 2011

More than a thousand women of all ages gathered Saturday at Kahn Park for the Philadelphia Slutwalk. Carrying signs like, “we dress as we please, it doesn’t mean Please, Please!”, the Slutwalk started in Toronto, Canada when a police officer  suggested to a group of students that they. “avoid looking like a slut in order to not be victimized.”. That remark sparked a universal “slutwalk” you see before you.

    I find it interesting that you write that more than a thousand women gathered but there are clearly men in most of those pictures. Stopping sexual harassment and rape is not just a women’s problem.

  • I applaud you.

    This matters to me. Thank you to everyone who participated!
