Topless Protest In Ukraine Against Indian Govt

Kiev, Jan 20: The topless activists, partially clad in Indian clothes, used a ladder to climb the Indian embassy’s balcony and unfurled banners saying "Ukrainians are not prostitutes!", "Delhi, close your brothels," and "We demand apologies."

The protesters waved Indian flags and knocked on the embassy’s doors and windows – until detained by security guards and taken away by the police.

the demo was sparked after the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered its embassies to take extra care checking visa applications from women aged 15-40, who are blamed for the country’s prostitution boom.

FEMEN’s blog says that by issuing such an order, India has gravely insulted the women of Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan.


"Indian prostitution is directly connected with impunity of the country’s criminal business," the blog states. "Blaming it on women is a shame for the heirs of such a rich and old culture."

The FEMEN movement made its name by carrying out politically-motivated naked protests at home in Ukraine and in countries throughout Europe, including the Vatican.

The activists regularly protest against such issues as the sexual exploitation of women, "patriarchal propaganda of sex inequality," and restrictions on abortions. They also supported a sexual assault cases against former IMF head Dominique Strass-Kahn and former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi.
