A "Slut Walk" went on in Omaha Sunday afternoon, it's an anti sexual assault rally that has been going on around the world with a name that tends to grab attention.

The Slut Walk rallies have been going on all over the world since an incident in January. A Canadian law officer, when speaking at a college about crime prevention allegedly said that women "should not dress like sluts and they would not be raped." Those words have spurred a movement that today made its way to Omaha.

"Whatever we wear, wherever we go! Yes means yes and no means no!" Chanted about a hundred people as they carried signs and made their way around downtown Omaha near the Gene Leahy Mall.

"Saying 'Oh you deserve it.' No one deserves to have any form of violence happen to them, I mean, I think a lot of people in this world need to start waking up and seeing the bigger picture. And, I'm glad I was a part of this, because it's spreading the word about it," said Paul Jensen, who walked on Sunday.

"It's not OK to not believe the victim. It's not OK to blame them for what happened to them and we're not going to let it happen anymore." Denise Holling organized the event and hopes to empower women. She had no idea sexual assault was such a problem in Omaha until she began looking into it. She now wants to do what she can to try and stop it.

She says a stigma in society has been created where some victims never come forward because of the blame they feel. "These women are terrified to come forward an its such a traumatic experience," said Holling, "It takes so much courage to come out and speak and then to have somebody not believe you is like, your worst possible outcome."

"It took me a really long time to understand that it wasn't my fault and it wasn't anybody else's fault except for my rapist and I didn't even tell anyone about it for a really long time because you hear about people that have a lot of sex and people call them sluts and that's a bad thing and you don't want people to think that about you." After the walk, Keri Hawhee spoke out in hopes of helping others at a gather at the Dundee Dell.

Hawhee was sexually assaulted when she was 11 years old. What she wore had nothing to do with it.

"Society teaches women that they can't wear certain clothes and instead they should be teaching that men shouldn't rape," says Hawhee.

Holling and others there feel the Slut Walk was a success.

"I wasn't expecting half of these people with the rain, and I was really happy with our turnout. We didn't have any negative reaction from anybody. In cars or in restaurants, so all together, today went really well," said Nicholas Watson, who took part in the walk.

"Especially all stretched out, we just looked so powerful, and it was really moving," said Holling.

Holling hopes to bring the event back again next year.
