Hundreds out for Sydney SlutWalk

Hundreds of protesters marched through Sydney's CBD for the SlutWalk demonstration on Monday despite rain.

SlutWalk is an international campaign that originated in Toronto, Canada, after a local police officer stated that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimised".

Organisers also hope the event will help empower women and redefine the derogatory use of the term 'slut'.
