[Wamvan] Fwd: Slutwalk Vancouver 2012 press release

[Joanna Chiu]

The last time I heard, they were doing a public vote to decide whether or
not to name it SlutWalk. It does seem pretty quick to have the march later
this month! If anyone has questions, you can email an organizer at
marlenekomus at hotmail.com

>> women can avoid being sexually assaulted by not dressing like "sluts",

>> We're also inviting all media and community organizations to join us at
