Playing off the Ray Rice story, Interval House creates a public service announcement “The elevator video worth sharing.”
Police Constable Michael Sanguinetti had been giving a talk on health and safety to a group of students at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto when he made the now infamous remarks. “You know, I think we’re beating around the bush here,” he reportedly told them. “I’ve been told I’m not supposed to say this – however, women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimised.”

SlutWalk protests emerge throughout the globe calling for an end to shaming and blaming of sexual assault victims for violence committed against them.
