‘Slut Walk’ demonstrations

HUNDREDS of women dressed in teetering heels and schoolgirl miniskirts marched through Mexico City’s streets to demand an end to sexual attacks for the way they dress.

The so-called “Slut Walk” to protest violence and harassment against women took place in several Latin American cities including Matagalpa, Nicaragua, and Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Women and men marched along a main Mexico City boulevard with signs saying “No means No” and “prostitutes are sacred”.

“Slut marches” began in Toronto in April, after a Canadian police officer speaking to students at a university advised women to not dress like sluts to avoid victimisation.
