SlutWalk London!
"We are not victims. We were victims, for a moment in time. Now, we are survivors."
I am marching because my best friend still thinks that her rape was her fault, because the authorities never looked into it, and because it will always haunt her. And that is not okay.
"Whatever I wear, however I act, as a woman, there is always the possibility that I will be deemed a ‘slut’".
"Believe it or not, not one of us is dressing for anyone other than ourselves."
We've had enough.
***Hey everyone - going through some website maintenance at the moment to make it more accessible, this will look less like a can of worms very soon, promise!***
