The London march occurs<br>just months after the first SlutWalk took place in Toronto in response to<br>a local police officer’s claim that ‘women should avoid dressing like<br>sluts’ if they want to minimise the chance of being raped.<br><br>SlutWalk has attracted
a rare degree of mainstream press coverage and<br>provoked much debate among feminists. Do we want to use the word slut? Has<br>SlutWalk been co-opted by the media, just as riot grrl was commodified as<br>‘girl power’? Does
SlutWalk reflect white privilege? Is it just another<br>example of feminism as consumerism? Or do these questions forget the most<br>important thing: that an energetic wave of activism against victim blaming<br>is happening? The Feminist Library has no collective position on SlutWalk.<br>This meeting is designed to facilitate debate.<br><br>We will begin with a general debate, and then we’ll split into smaller<br>discussion groups. After the discussion, the evening will develop into a<br>banner making workshop for those wishing to march on Saturday 11th. Please<br>bring your own materials if you want to make a banner. If you make up your<br>mind during the event, we’re sure we can fit you in and find you things.<br><br>If you have any questions, please contact us at<br><a rel="nofollow">admin@feministlibrary.co.uk</a> or <span class="skype_pnh_print_container">020 7261 0879</span><span tabindex="-1" dir="ltr" class="skype_pnh_container"><span
