Slutwalk, an anti-rape campaign, had a turnout of thousands who march through Central London fighting for the rights of women to dress as they please without being accused of provoking sexual violence.

The movement which began in Canada when a policeman told a group of law students that in order to avoid sexual violence "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized". As a reaction women decided to reclaim the word "slut".

"Yes, means yes" and "no, means no" "Sex should be a mater of consent" "Rape and sexual violence are never acceptable"
