When we were working with the International Women’s Day, we were ‘invited’ to work, it wasn’t as if we as black women, as a group that they sought to invite, were part of that whole movement. We were something outside of the movement, so working inside it meant we had to say ‘look, you can’t do this, we are women, women that are connected to women all over the world. In order to have a real women’s movement, you have to work altogether as women. You can’t keep that structure where you control what goes and we just fill in the gaps.’

Sounds like some of the problems with Slutwalk to me.
