When all over we are hearing the claim that women who choose to dress revealingly, drink alcohol or act in a certain way are responsible for being raped and sexually harassed we have to protest. This assumption hurts not only the rape victims but also women in general. Women feel that their basic rights to live and act the way they choose is threatened. Men, too, are also affected by this attitude. They are treated as incompetent beasts with no self awareness and who therefore cannot control themselves.
In the 24th of January, , a policeman in Toronto, Canada, said that to stay safe and not become victims women must not dress like sluts. A sentence like this, that was said in an official conference of the Canadian police force displays the sad state that exists all over the world.
And so was born the idea of The Slut Walk, which spread all over the world. This general state of mind, blaming the victims themselves for what they went through, climbs up into the highest ranks of government and army. Our body is our own and therefore we have the right to dress and look the way the way we want — whether it pleases other people or not. It is no excuse for rape, or any form of sexual harassment.
Come dressed exactly the way you want to dress. We will be walking from Gan Meir to Rabin Square in revealing clothes.
