Slutwalk LA June 4, 2011 - "Strength, Courage and Wisdom"

Slutwalk LA, June 4, 2011. All photography by Shari B. Ellis (http://www.ohshari.com). Uploaded in HD.

I volunteered for Slutwalk in Los Angeles this past weekend, and I documented the event for my final assignment for a photography class. This is the slideshow I turned in. The song is "Strength, Courage and Wisdom" by India Arie.

(Technical note: my zoom lens failed midway so the majority of these are taken with an ultra-wide angle lens I was borrowing. Apologies for not having close ups of the speakers.)

Thank you for your kind comments, everyone. And many thanks to the courageous women and men who shared their stories and showed their support, and to the organizers for their generosity and for making the event happen. I'm so proud to be part of such a powerful, global movement.

A culture that blames victims for being raped - for what they were wearing, where they were, and who they were with - rather than blaming the rapist is a culture that tacitly condones rape.
