From the Slutwalk Ottawa Facebook page:
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.

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.

The aftermath of violence—from domestic abuse to political terror
by
Judith Herman, M.D.
1992
Coming out of the women's movement and an academic background, this author gives the subject of trauma a feminist context. As in other books on trauma the author brings insight to the study of trauma itself by addressing the history of how trauma has been addressed and treated in the past. How public consciousness of trauma has been brought to our attention through a political consciousness. Beginning with the study of hysteria in France by a famous neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot at the asylum Salpetriere and theatrical lectures to demonstrate the traumatized reactions of women patients when touched. She tells the story of Freud's bid for fame by writing about his interviews with young women traumatized by sexual assault and his later recanting of his discoveries. Her account is more sympathetic than others I have read demonstrating how difficult it is to bring a topic to light if the public refuses to hear it.
She relates the discovery of post-traumatic stress syndrome from war and how the political anti-war climate of the Vietnam war served to support the PTSD diagnosis and the emergence of "rap" groups to support recovery of soldiers by inviting them to participate in support groups with each other. She also talks about the impact of terror on political victims. And finally how the women's movement allowed the revelation of the domestic trauma and the war between the sexes. How women's behavior was/is controlled by the threat of violence on the part of their male partners.
In the rest of the book she describes how trauma impacts the victims everyday lives including hyperarousal and reenactment and the swinging from the intrusion of fragmented memory of the trauma and attempts to dissociate or self-medicate and just going numb. The ultimate goal of recovery being integration. Many more discoveries have been made since this book that better cover aspects of integration and recovery. There was one valuable tidbit I took away from this account and that was the importance of having a community i.e. a group or fellow survivors or a single person who understands the depth of the trauma, can state it clearly and give context to the injustice and help the victim piece together their sense of self that has been violated.
The final sections of the book describes in detail the role of the therapist and gives guidelines on how to form and facilitate peer support groups for different phases of trauma recovery. Also of note is the use of the pronoun 'she' rather than 'he' throughout the narrative of the book. This is a good solid academic treatment of the topic of trauma which gave me a valuable perspective that was missing in The Body Keeps The Score.
