FEMINIST campaigner Amber Rose has staged a superhero-themed SlutWalk protest in Los Angeles.

The ex-girlfriend of Kanye West holds the event annually, with Blac Chyna one of the big names joining her in the march this year.

Rose's bright pink sequined cape was printed with the slogan, "Captain save a hoe", which she teamed with custom-made Reebok sneakers with the words "slut" and "walk" printed on each.

Known for her buzz cut, Rose, 33, sported a long blonde wig at the protest, which shutdown streets in Los Angeles today.

Local reports suggested it was attended by 20,000 people.

Speaking to News Corp Australia in 2016, the former stripper said she had reclaimed the word "slut" as a term of empowerment.

"I feel like as women, we get slut-shamed a lot, if we do something sexual with a man or another woman or a threesome or whatever we choose to do sexually, we get criticised for it and men don't," Rose said.

"Also, we shouldn't always leave it up to the man to carry the condoms.

"We should know that we are able to protect ourselves as well. So I just encourage safe sex and being confident in who you are."
