What Is Beaman's Concept Of Slutwalk As An Empowerment

The third point of my research paper focused on Beaman’s concept of SlutWalk as empowering. Her article included concepts of equality, agency and identity. For my third point, I used SlutWalk as a means and way of empowering marginalized groups such as women. The key ideas that SlutWalk promotes include gender equality, consent and agency. Empowering women meant having the agency to consent and reject men’s invitations and advances. SlutWalk puts an emphasize on empowering women who have been abused and victimized through reporting their incident to encourage other people to break the cycle of abuse. Silence was also a way of perpetuating the abuse by helping the perpetrator escape his responsibilities. SlutWalk aims to inspire women come forward
and end victim blaming.
