SlutWalk DC, for the third year, sent the message that a person’s body is solely their own, and that no one should be allowed to engage in sexual activity with another person if they do not have the other person’s consent. The message of the group went further to indicate that consent for sexual activity is something that is expressed – never implied – and that nothing about how a person is dressed is automatic consent for sexual activity, and that rape is never the fault of the victim. The event took a sex-positive stand, but sex-positive only with expressed consent.
Participants marched from the African American Civil War Memorial at 10th and U Streets NW to Meridian Hill (Malcolm X) Park at 16th and Euclid Streets NW, via U and 14th Streets NW.
