Feminism in Ukraine

Female activist group FEMEN who stage daring nude stunts to get their message across pulled another one of their signature moves when a bare chested member mounted a statue outside the Ukrainian Parliament on Tuesday. The words “School of corruption” were written across her breasts while she was ringing a school bell, protesting what the group perceives as a corrupt Ukrainian parliament.

Femen, a group made up of women activists, staged a demonstration about eight years ago in front of the Turkish Embassy in Kiev, carrying posters that said, "Ukraine is not a brothel." They claimed Turkish men came to Ukraine in groups to be with prostitutes and were making inappropriate offers to women on the streets of the city.

Two topless activists from the self-proclaimed “sextremist” group Femen were violently dragged away from a Paris-area stage after after storming an Islamic conference on women and religion.
Video footage shows two topless women race onto the stage as two Imams were addressing a crowd on Saturday afternoon in the Pontoise district near Paris.

The message of a brand?s condom banner ad during a football match between Turkish and Ukrainian teams on TV has outraged the feminist protest group, FEMEN, on the grounds that it promotes sex tourism in Ukraine.

FEMEN Chief Ina Sevtsenko, the woman who posed topless in front of the Caryatid statues in Athens, states that the group is considering starting a chapter in Athens in an effort to get more Greek women involved in topless activism. The 24-year-old activist told Ethnos newspaper that in Greece it is easy to spot all the corrupt elements that make up the European dogma.

A Turkish member of the international activist group FEMEN has claimed that an ex-boyfriend blackmailed her with nude photos and sex tapes filmed without her knowledge.

The 27-year-old, identified only as D.D., notified her lawyers about the alleged blackmail, Doğan News Agency reported.

Femen, the women's rights group known for topless protests, took their act to a new level of provocation on Nov. 14 with an explicitly sexually suggestive demonstration in front of the Vatican.
