Sydney Slut Walk and Sex Radical Politics!

by Zahra Stardust , under Zahra Stardust

Well, I have a pretty exciting month coming up, with the Sydney Slut Walk and Camp Betty over the June long weekend… what better way to spend the Queen’s birthday?!

For those of who in Sydney who are slut-identified, remember to come along and join this amazing, world-wide movement! Sluts and allies united against victim blaming, the walk is a protest against the comments of a Canadian police officer who told female university students they should avoid ‘dressing like sluts’ in order not to be assaulted. The walk has spread all over the world, so come along, bring your slut-pride, banners, stickers and other pink sparkly things, and celebrate your sexuality as we march from Town Hall at 2pm on Monday 13 June!

Also on that weekend is a fabulous forum called ‘Queer Sexuality, Radical Action and Electoral Politics’. I am speaking on behalf of the Australian Sex Party, and there are other speakers from the Greens, Equal Love Campaign, Scarlet Alliance, Still Fierce Collective and Abortion Rights campaign. Come along and bring your ideas as to how you want to change the world – whether it’s being able to make porn in NSW, sell X-rated DVDs in NSW, have your non-straight relationship recognised. The event is at Dirty Shirlows in Marrickville at 4pm on 11 June: http://campbetty.org/2010/?page_id=4
