Dozens of people gathered Saturday to demonstrate against sexual violence and victim-blaming as part of the fifth annual Salt Lake City SlutWalk.

"Our community needs to be better educated on what consent is," Jenna Rae Rudolph, one of the organizers, said.

SlutWalk participants gathered at Salt Lake City and then marched up State Street to the Capitol for a rally.

They carried signs that said, among other slogans, "A Dress Is Not A Yes" and "No matter how much I show, NO means NO!"

Stephanie Whittaker said dressing in a sexy manner is not a reason to rape.

And University of Utah student Mark Reviea, who carried a sign reading "Rape is a Men's Issue," said education is a key to the fight against sexual assault.

"I'm interested in the elimination of sexual victimization from society," he said.

SlutWalk began in Toronto in 2011 after a police officer in the Canadian city said, "Women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."

Demonstrations against victim-blaming, survivor-shaming and rape culture are held annually in cities throughout the world, according to the group's website.
