Boys and men supporting the movement marched without their shirts, clad in their boxer shorts to give a message to society that "clothes do not cause rape, sick mentality does."
The volunteers in a unique manner have challenged the mindsets that tend to shame the survivors.

The movement was also supported by many women who marched along with the men.
