From CNN NEWSROOM T.J Holmes has CNNs reporter Nadia Bilchik brings political stories from around the world, one that has been getting lots of attention are the female protestors in Ukraine. She reports a group of Ukrainian female activists that call themselves FEMEN. These FEMEN women protest topless to get attention to create awareness for causes they feel are important like anti-prostitution, womans rights, and wanting Democracy. In the Ukraine nudity is banned, toplessness in the other hand is okay. At first the group was not taken seriously, some of them however were arrested for protesting topless when the President of Ukraine was casting his ballot in the election.
The FEMEN believe that "... everything (females) have are their mind and bodies... look at Beyonce selling perfume with her body... sex sells perfumes and cars, why not political rights." Some might disagree that displaying themselves in that manner is vulgar for the public and a lack of decency for themselves, in todays modernization there are no limits anymore. Although the FEMEN may receive negative views they do have a very good point with their idea of using sex as a mechanism for political rights. Corporations use sex as a tool and politicians work with them so why criticize these women and put them in jail when after all they are just trying to make a change and bring justice for the common good.
