Women in Brazil staged a topless protest – to fight for the right to sunbathe topless.
The group hoped to turn attention to a Brazilian law which prohibits women from going topless at the beach as well as highlight cultural issues surrounding the freedom of women’s bodies.
Campaign organiser, Ana Paula Nogueira, sees the act of going topless as something pure and natural not as a scandalous act of promiscuity as the society sees it.
“We believe that this is something that is going to take a while. It is something cultural, it will take a while to change, but there is no point in us sitting there doing nothing.
“So we try to make it playful, involve people so that this is received in a natural way and not seen as a protest,” Nogueira told Reuters TV on Tuesday.
The campaigners celebrated the growing support for the movement, with a number of men and women taking part.
YOO guys what do you think, should women be granted the right to sunbathe topless or Not?
