On January 24th at Osgoode Hall Law School, members from York security and male officers from Toronto police 31 Division conducted a campus safety information session, and one of the officers told women they could avoid sexual assault by not dressing like a "slut." Students and staff demanded an apology from the Toronto Police Service.
In protest, a group of women organized Slutwalk Toronto on April 3rd in front of the Toronto Police Service's front door at 40 College Street. Approximately 3,000-4000 people joined in.
