Sorry for the weeklong sabbatical from the blog. Technical
difficulties! But we are back and ready for more posts and more challenges!
Today’s Vagina Voice comes from the SlutWalk in Toronto. Yes
we know the walk already happened (May 26, I believe), but we’ve been dealing
with some serious material in our rehearsals lately and the SlutWalk and other
anti-rape campaigns have provided some reassurance and inspiration.
SlutWalk Toronto began in 2011 to fight back against victim-blaming and slut-shaming
around sexual violence. The idea was sparked when a Toronto Police officer referred
to women and survivors of sexual assault as "sluts" and suggested women
'dressing like sluts' were asking for it! To learn more about SlutWalk Toronto
go here.
Below are
some commercials we thought were also fitting for this topic. Please respond
with your thoughts and other campaigns, articles, and other resources you have
come across!
Happy Monday!
