New Delhi 'Slut Walk' Brings Global Sexual Violence Protest Phenomenon To India

New Delhi 'Slut Walk' Brings Global Sexual Violence Protest Phenomenon To India: "India's most dangerous city for women will be the setting for the nation's first 'Slut Walk,' the latest such display in what has become a global phenomenon to protest sexual violence.

As the AFP is reporting, scantily-clad women will take to the streets of New Delhi, a city of 16 million residents, where a woman is allegedly raped every 18 hours or molested every 14 hours. Inspired by the original Toronto-based Slutwalk, New Delhi's colorful June 25 display will join similar protests which have taken place around the world, including in the U.S., the Middle East and Europe."
