A protest against sexual violence and the notion that women provoke it in the way that they dress, which started in Canada in April this year, is turning global. Will it reach Israel any time soon?

As waves of popular protest swept the Middle East and North Africa this year, an unlikely protest movement of a different kind that started in Canada has already gone global.
Toronto activists organized the first SlutWalk on April 3 in reaction to a policeman’s statement that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."

The SlutWalk grew from small protests into a worldwide phenomenon, a message against the notion that women themselves provoke sexual violence.
Participants at such SlutWalks carried banners declaring slogans such as “a dress is not a yes,” many of them dressed ‘provocatively’ to make their point.
The organizers’ message has resonated worldwide. Satellite SlutWalks are officially registered for 83 cities in 15 countries, including Brazil and Holland. India’s first SlutWalk is reportedly due to take place later this month.]
