About 200 people gathered in Tel Aviv to protest the objectification of women and sexual harassment in Israel\'s first so-called \"SlutWalk,\" officials said. Protesters, mostly young women, made their way from Gan Meir to Rabin Square Thursday night chanting \"No means no!\" during the demonstration, called \"Mitzad Sharmutot\" in Hebrew, Haaretz reported. One woman attended the protest wearing a miniskirt, a bathing suits and a sticker reading: \"How am I dressed? Call 1-800-mind your business.\" She \"would have come in only a bathing suit, if it wasn\'t so cold,\" she said. Rachel Bergstein, 24, a student from Tel Aviv, protested as well. \"I\'m here because I\'ve encountered too many situations in which my personal space was violated,\" she said. \"People assume that the feminist movement succeeded, that there\'s total equality between men and women so we don\'t need to struggle anymore and that\'s just not true.\" SlutWalk protests started in Canada as a reaction to a Canadian policeman\'s statement that \"women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.\" SlutWalk protests are scheduled to take place in Haifa and Jerusalem at later dates.
