Scores of topless women took to the streets of Rio de Janeiro to protest sexual violence and victim blaming as part of a “SlutWalk” event. The half-naked participants of all ages with slogans written on their bodies and banners in their hands marched through the streets of the busy city. They were wearing sexy lingerie such as short skirts, stockings, scanty tops and high heels to protest against excusing rape by referring to any aspect of a woman’s appearance.

The “SlutWalk” rallies began in Canada four years ago after a Toronto police officer suggested that “women should avoid dressing like sluts” as a precaution against sexual assault. Subsequent rallies have occurred globally, with thousands of women willing to show that they own their bodies and have freedom of choice. One of such marchs was covered by journalists at Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beachfront in Brazil.

Stephanie Ruas, a 26-year-old protester, said: “We may face violence anywhere. At school, as a young girl, at work – that’s the culture. Brazil is one of the worst places for a woman to travel alone. When I travel I bring a special door jam so that my hotel room cannot be opened.” Indara Costa, who is only eighteen, added: “Men in Brazil think we are objects. We want to be able to do what we want with our bodies without being harassed.”

The rate of rape and sexual harrasment against women is very high in Brazil and India.

All those tribalist who are always quick to see Ogun, Osun, Oyo women protesting dis way, what do you have to say now? And mind you, am not saying it is right...... But if this is the best way they feel they can be heard.. Let them be.

Why would any man not want to rape a Brazil woman when Brazil has the most beautiful girls in the whole world. This is the reason our ugly Nigerian girls spend thousand of naira to buy Brazil wig so that they will look like those Brazil cute princess.
