Those who attended the first meeting of the FLF this past Monday will recall that the topic of SlutWalk came up, and it seemed there was no conclusive plans to hold one in Winnipeg. While that was only yesterday, news has since emerged that Winnipeg will indeed host a SlutWalk. You can see the Winnipeg Free Press story at the link below. The walk be on October 15th, beginning at the Burton Cummings Theatre.
The FLF is pretty much dying to hear your thoughts on SlutWalk– have you attended one? would you? do you support the anti victim-blaming message while having mixed feeling about use of the word ‘slut’? or do you think that this is an important re-claiming of a formerly derogatory word? Is it fun? Is it effective? Let us know!
The FLF will very likely be attending, and also holding a pre-or-post coffee/food/drinks meeting in order to provide an opportunity to express views and share experiences. Details to come!
A reminder as to why these walks are necessary…
