Chaturbate, Others Talking the Talk for Amber Rose SlutWalk

LOS ANGELES—Members of the adult industry are, sadly, no strangers to the concept of slut shaming. So it's not surprising that the names of adult companies and adult stars can be found among the followers of the Amber Rose Slutwalk Twitter page. The event takes place at noon on October 3 in downtown L.A.'s Pershing Square. Rose, a self-described mother, philanthropist, feminist and entrepreneur and author of the upcoming book How To Be A Bad Bitch, is making the Slutwalk a kickoff for the Amber Rose Foundation for Women Empowerment, described as "a not-for-profit organization that aims to promote discussion about women’s rights and equality issues," particularly sexual violence, victim blaming and derogatory labels. One company throwing its support to the Amber Rose Slutwalk is Chaturbate.com a leading webcam portal and technology company. “It is important that we all work together to end sexual violence,” said Chaturbate Chief Operating Officer Shirley Lara. “Chaturbate is happy to lend a hand in helping to stop gender inequality.” The Chaturbate community includes hundreds of adult stars and models who interact with adult entertainment fans around the world through state-of-the-art video technology, protected by secure and discreet connections. For the next week, Chaturbate will have a link on its homepage to a blog post about Slutwalk. The cam site will be urging fans who care about the issues raised by Slutwalk but are unable to be there in person to show by posting a “Slut Selfie” at 3 p.m. PST (6 p.m. EST) on October 3. Using the following tags will help bring awareness: #AmberRoseSlutWalk #MuvasMovement #BreakTheNet. Another company lending a hand to Slutwalk is Say It With a Condom. A company that packages condoms with customized messages and designs, Say It With a Condom is conducting a contest for a new Amber Rose Consent Condom design.
