Attendant in skimpy attire meeting with street protest? (10)

Ross

I think it could be either:

resistance

ministrant
I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'protest?' is the definition.
(protest is a kind of resistance)

'attendant in skimpy attire meeting with street' is the wordplay.
'attendant in skimpy attire meeting' becomes 'resiance' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'resiance' placed around 'st' is 'RESISTANCE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resistance that I've seen before include "immunity" , "Rebellious group" , "French fighting group" , "Withstanding" , "fighters in wartime" .)
