The Iranian female activists have
followed the footsteps of the scandalous Ukrainian FEMEN movement,
flashing their breasts in protest against the hijab headscarf, women
wear in the Islamic world.
The
action performed by members of the Iranian Communist Party and the
Organization Against Violence on Women in Iran took place in the center
of the Swedish capital, Stockholm on Sunday, and was dedicated to
International Women’s Day, which is celebrated on March 8.
The women painted their bodies with slogans such as "My nudity is my protest" and "No to hijab" and displayed pictures from anti-Islamic demonstrations by FEMEN.
The
topless photos from Stockholm first appeared on FEMEN’s official
website, with members of the "sextremist" movement expressing their
confidence that "in the historical battle woman v. Islam’ women will
win!"
The Ukrainian topless protesters have recently teamed up with Egyptian activist, Alia Al Mahdi, to attract public attention to "the threat of Islamization of the Egyptian constitution and the introduction of Mohamed Morsi's Shariah Law", with the action being staged in front of the Egyptian embassy in the Swedish capital.
The
FEMEN activists have become famous for organizing topless protests at
major international public events in different countries against sex
tourism, religious institutions, international marriage agencies, sexism
and other social and international issues.
The movement quickly spread across the Ukrainian border as the group recently opened their new headquarter in Paris, promising offices in New York, Montreal and Sao Paulo as well.
