I’ve been contacted by a lot of girls who relate to the shared stories of other women and are looking for advice. The first step is always to steer them toward a trained social worker or guidance counselor, but especially in cases involving sexuality, trained adults themselves can often contribute to the shame a girl feels.
Since I’m no advice expert, I decided to open a new avenue of communication through The UnSlut Project: community advice-giving. Every so often, I’ll be posting anonymous questions I receive about female sexuality, slut shaming, bullying, etc. If you have some advice you’d like to offer, either reply to the post itself or contact me and I’ll share it here on the Community Advice page.

The UnSlut Project is the "It Gets Better" of Slut-Shaming

When Emily Lindin was 11 years old, her classmates decided that she was a slut. For the next few years, she was “harassed incessantly at school, after school, and online,” she says. This was 1997, before Gchat conversations and Twitter streams kept a running digital transcript of pre-teen life. Instead, Emily kept a detailed diary of the events in a set of spiral notebooks.
Fifteen years later, she’s exhumed her childhood entries, and is publishing them in chronological order on a Tumblr she calls the UnSlut Project

Twelve million people have read one woman's diaries -- and her entries show how much power the word "slut" has.
Emily Lindin was branded the school "slut" from ages 11 to 14, and was slut-shamed by male and female classmates who thought her developed body was grounds for creating and spreading sexual rumors. So, when she heard stories of teen girls who took their own lives after being sexually assaultedand slut-shamed by their peers, she knew she had to do something.
Lindin started The UnSlut Project in 2013, where she posts entries from her own teenage diaries online, in hopes that her writing could "provide some perspective to girls who currently feel trapped and ashamed."
“To be slut shamed, one doesn’t have to be actually engaging in any kind of sexual behavior," Lindin said. "Just wearing a shirt that inspires a sexual thought in another person for whatever reason is enough to be slut-shamed.”

Now Lindin wants to reach even more people with her message, through "Slut: A Documentary."

One woman who asked to participate in the documentary is Samantha Gailey Geimer, the minor involved in the 1977 Roman Polanski case.

"She wanted to talk about being 13 years old and having strange adults in the media call you a slut," Lindin told HuffPost.
The documentary, currently in post-production, also features the stories of young girls driven to suicide by slut-shaming and a deeper exploration of what the word "slut" means in our society. The team flew to Nova Scotia to interview the family of Rehtaeh Parsons, who took her life after photographs of her being allegedly sexually assaulted were passed around.
