Introducing SlutTALK: Conversations on language and sexual violence
As a English student, I've often been inclined to defend the value of discussion as means of political and social change. Yet the numerous protests and uprisings that have swept the globe in the past year - from the Arab Spring, to Occupy Wall Street, to the current student strike in Québec - all seem to have powerfully illustrated that in many ways, the time for talking is over.
When governments and institutions do not respond to the needs of the people, we take to the streets. Slutwalk is no exception to this phenomenon.
Voices for choice -- no going back!
Throughout history, women have strived for equality, gaining rights, freedoms, voices, and choices. Why should we go back in time?

The past year proved that in trying times, the collective will of people can be asserted and can bring about change. Yet the journey ahead is long.
FAIR Ontario: This is a group issue, for all of us
Ontario has one of the world's largest gender pay gaps: 29% We need to start thinking of this as a group issue, one that crosses the lines of gender, class, ethnicity, etc. Together we can demand political leadership to close the pay gap. Thanks to http://genwhymedia.ca/ for their amazing work on the video and Aidan Knight for the music http://aidanknight.com/.
