The Slut Walk is a campaign Rose put together to raise awareness and stop sexual injustice, victim blaming, derogatory labeling and gender inequality.
The movement stems from when a Toronto police officer told a group of young women in 2011 that if they want to avoid being sexually assaulted then they “should avoid dressing like sluts.” In response, the Canadian city held a walk of the same name.
Over the last few weeks, Rose has received plenty of donations and is close to her goal of $45,000. Some stars who already donated include Ne-Yo, singer-songwriter Jeffree Star and music executive Sujit Kundu. This week Minaj also contributed to the cause donating $5,000 of her own money.
Rose thanked the “Anaconda” rapper for her generosity via social media.
The event is set for Oct. 3 and will have on-site HIV testing, sexual awareness booths and food and merchandise vendors.
