Around 3000 people came out in solidarity at the first SlutWalk Melbourne rally over the weekend.

Sluts and their allies marched to take a stand against the culture of victim-blaming and slut-shaming. Dr Leslie Cannold, Monica Dux, Ursula Benstead, Elena Jeffreys and Cody Smith were exceptional speakers, articulating the Rally's message that those who experience sexual assault are never the ones at fault.

As the chant goes, "Yes means yes! No means no! However I dress! Wherever I go!"

If you weren't there, or if you were and you'd like to reminisce, take a look in the gallery above at a wonderful selection of photos taken by Leah Robertson.
