Amber Rose Works The Crowd At Slut Walk LA
Posted on Sun Oct 4th, 2015 9:35am PDT By X17 Staff
Amber Rose hosted the inaugural "SlutWalk" in Los Angeles on Saturday, and she was joined by hundreds of other individuals looking to change the double standards against women and victim-blaming in the culture of sexual violence.
The event was hosted by the Amber Rose Foundation, the starlet's non-profit organization with the mission of "uplifting, empowering, and enhancing the platform of women across the globe." The larger movement was launched in 2011 after a police officer remarked that if women didn't want to be raped, they shouldn't dress "like sluts."
"We need to insure that the education that we're having is to teach people not to rape as opposed to how not to get raped," Rose told the crowd. Rose, 31, carried a "Strippers Have Feelings Too" banner, and her mother Dorothy held a sign that read "F*** Yo 30 Showers!" This was of course in reference to ex-boyfriend Kanye West's comment earlier this year that, "It's very hard for a woman to want to be with someone that was with Amber Rose … I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim [Kardashian]." Glad she's calling out Yeezy on that one!
Rose's non-profit, the Amber Rose Foundation, has also set up a GoFundMe to "support our foundation and groups and organizations of women who have been subject to slut shaming, a lack of implication of double standards, sexual assault, and even rape ... Los Angeles is just the first of many cities that we hope to expand this movement to with your help."
