Ukrainian Women’s Rights Activists Protest Legalizing Prostitution By Getting Naked

Makes sense to everyone, right? The group Ukrainian women, Femen (”Femen has established an international reputation for staging semi-naked protests in Ukraine and abroad.”), held the naked demonstration outside Kiev’s Olympic Stadium. They claim that UEFA is attempting to legalize prostitution during the 2012 European Championship.

“A Femen spokeswoman,Ukrainian women Inna Shevchenko, said Uefa was ‘trying to influence our government’ to legalise prostitution during the tournament, which will take place in June and July next summer.”

In the end, the Ukrainian women took off their clothes, made some noise and five minutes later it was all over. “The protest lasted only enough for reporters to take photos and videos as the Ukrainian women, who adorned their underwear with miniature footballs and wore toilet paper around their shins, were very quickly dragged away from the spot by the police.”
