From here.Plans by a group of women to hold a “SlutWalk” in New Delhi to protest sexual violence have triggered a debate on whether the march can change mindsets in India about women’s status in the conservative society... New Delhi protest organizer Umang Sabarwal said Wednesday that the march in the Indian capital would be aimed at shifting blame from the victim to the perpetrators of crimes against women.
See you Saturday!

It was interesting to see that they have renamed the walk 'Besharmi Morcha' (shameless protest)
Reading some of the bloggers from India, they had some quite robust debate over the relevance (or rather irrelevance)of the word slut in an Indian context.
It was great to see they reframed this in a way that works contextually for them.
I've found my sign for Slutwalk Auckland! Rape Crisis Scotland has some incredible people working there! http://www.rapecrisisscotland.org.uk/campaigns/pie-chart-postcard/
Now I just need to buy some printer ink :(
