In an address to law students, a Toronto police officer said "in order to avoid being victimized, women should stop dressing like sluts." The Slutwalk movement started as a rally organized in response to his statement. Word spread and many other cities, including Ottawa, agreed that this particular police officer is not alone in his misunderstanding of the problem. Short skirts don’t rape: Rapists do.

Nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary feature, this 2012 investigative documentary uncovers the epidemic of rape of soldiers within the U.S. military. The New York Times called it "a movie that cannot be ignored." The film paints a startling picture of the extent of the problem. Today, a female soldier in combat zones is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. The Department of Defense estimates there were a staggering 22,800 violent sex crimes in the military in 2011. Twenty percent of all active-duty female soldiers are sexually assaulted. Female soldiers aged 18 to 21 accounted for more than half of the victims.
After the film, stay for a legislative update and discussion.

A rally and press conference was held on Tuesday afternoon April 10th at the Daley Center in downtown Chicago to call attention to the fact that the state of Illinois is one of fourteen states yet to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
The Equal Rights Amendment states that: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex". The E.R.A, would provide legal protection for women in various ways including gender-based violence, equal pay, and pregnancy discrimination.
70% of America's poor are women. This also affects the children who depend on them.
Women make up roughly half the workforce and constitute two-thirds of minimum wage workers.
Women earn 79 and 44% of what men make adjusted for their race. The latter figure applies more to blacks and Hispanics.
Women are twice as likely to retire in poverty as men.
Passing the E.R.A. would ensure that employers could not give women less pay for doing the same work as a man.
