Slut or slattern is a pejorative term applied to an individual who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous. On Saturday, she will be leading a group of self-proclaimed sluts through the streets of Halifax. The Halifax SlutWalk follows in a long line of cities across the globe that have organized such protest marches. Many participants view these marches as a way of taking back control their sexuality and what defines it.
SlutWalks in the past have been less than shocking. The Toronto march was incited by a comment made by Const. Michael Sanguinetti during a crime prevention safety forum at York University in January.
As Executive Director of the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre , Smith works in the province with the highest rate of sexual assault per capita at 40 attacks per 1, people , and the city with the third highest rate of sexual assault in Canada at 92 assaults per , Nova Scotia also has one of the lowest rates of charge: in , only Smith attributes this discrepancy to a pervasive myth in legal institutions that victims of sexual assault are to blame for their attack.
She is not aware of any blatant instances of bias in Halifax, such as that displayed by Const. Sanguinetti, but says myths and stereotypes surrounding sexual assault plague the criminal justice system. These practices contradict much of what is known about the nature of this crime. Most sexual assaults are premeditated and opportunistic crimes of powerβnot sexuality. The majority of victims are attacked by somehow they know.
And although the largest proportion of sexual assaults occur to women under the age of 25, people of all genders, races and age can be victims of sexual assault. Victim-blaming when it comes to sexual assault is not isolated within the legal system. She traces this dominance to the Puritan Age when female sexuality was demonized and virginity praised. Today, little has changed. The repercussions on victims of sexual assault of this misappropriation of blame are devastating.
