SlutWalk event comes to Singapore

The SlutWalk will be held in Singapore for the first time this December.

The SlutWalk is an event meant to fight for women's rights to be safe, regardless of their appearance or dressing. Usually held as a protest march, it has already reached cities including Toronto, New Delhi and Seoul.

In Singapore, the event will take the form of a gathering at Hong Lim Park on 4 December. Event activities will span two days and will include a talk, a workshop and a forum.

According to the organisers, women taking part in the Singapore version of the SlutWalk need not dress skimpily. They can come in jeans and t-shirts, or anything they are comfortable with.

The original SlutWalk also stated that women should attend in "everyday wear". However, many turned up dressed skimpily and provocatively.

The SlutWalk was started in Toronto, Canada after an outcry over a suggestion made by a local police constable on 24 January this year, at a crime prevention talk at York University.

Policeman Michael Sanguinetti suggested to women that "they should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimised".

In response to the policeman's words, angry women started a protest march on 3 April in Toronto to protest against "explaining or excusing sex crimes by referring to any aspect of a woman's appearance or dressing".

More than 3,000 people turned up for the first-ever SlutWalk in Canada.

As the movement spread throughout the world, thousands of women and men have joined the SlutWalk and made it "the most successful feminist movement of the past 20 years", according to its entry in Wikipedia.
