The body as feminist flag
The Femen movement has returned to popularize topless as a weapon of protest
They fight against the sex trade, religion and dictatorship

The comparative advantage of this section with respect to others is that, probably, the photos of their players ignite the maximum attention of the readers. The appeal of the body of the woman, especially if it is young and beautiful, it is usually foolproof. How many of those readers, however, will stand to deepen enough about what they want these activists? What encourages them to risk their physical integrity or end up in jail wearing her topless?
Activists of Femen movement born in Ukraine, not always so striking protested. In fact, began embracing traditional methods of feminism: thousands of women protesting in the streets against the sex trade and exploitation to which this subject as many females in the countries of Eastern Europe, an area often described as a huge brothel. Its shares went virtually unnoticed until one day, in 2010, five of them decided to protest against the candidate topless Ukrainian Victor Yanukovych. The media impact was dramatic, so they decided to follow the path found: his body as a weapon of struggle, as a flag. Since then always protest topless with painted on his torso and a wreath that gives them a hippy.
The impact achieved in each action reaffirms them the method of choice. When you ask one of its founders, Alexandra Shevchenko, says he is not worried that his strategy is criticized or being accused of using the classic stereotype (the female body) as flashy or claim that hiding the message ends Femen wants to spread. "I worry more about the lack of impact that women's protests have no impact", said by telephone from Berlin this young 24 year old activist has already finished his studies and is dedicated entirely to Femen in Germany. "It's my mission," he proclaims.

Femen fight against the sex industry because they believe that no prostitute credible exercise that office voluntarily. It also fights against all religions and against any dictator. Alexandra achieved last 8th break the security cordon and placed between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the auto show in Hanover. In shirtless, sported a legend Alexandra Shevchenko: "Fuck the dictator". It was an exciting experience, but now you have to return to Ukraine, her country, to renew the visa fears being arrested for it.
Under these wreaths girls activists claiming no love. They like to transgress and tinker with symbols. Just take a look at their website (www.femen.org) to learn in greater depth his true identity. One of the most striking images is the photo montage of a beautiful girl topless with wreath and wings. Putting a little more attention to the image, one immediately realizes that the wings are actually big long saw blades. There are in general in all his actions, not without peaceful attitude, however, aggression.
The British newspaper The Guardian has devoted ample space to Femen. The journalist Kira Cochrane visited in mid-March Femen headquarters in Paris, where his tentacles have also arrived and could directly observe the hard training they undergo these young activists who should be fit for their actions and how to take the desired image for the press, not to smile ... Because they are never soldiers, disciplined people willing to fulfill its mission.
The impact that achieve their protests were reaffirmed in the method chosen
The leader of the movement in Paris is Inna Shevchenko (not sister Alexandra despite sharing the same name), who had to leave his job in Kiev and lived moments of great danger, as one in which she was put in a van and took to the woods. He thought he would be raped and murdered. In the end, only forced to stand still, bound and naked for seven hours in the forest and left lying in the snow waiting for someone to find. That strengthened his convictions.
Three years after his first protest topless Femen, which has a close relationship with the Russian feminist group Pussy Riot, very sought after conducting a performance in an Orthodox church, has already spread to several countries. It is in Germany and France, but also in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Brazil, Canada, United States and Italy. They have no plans to settle in Spain, where he says Alexandra Shevchenko, are making a big impact. And yet, there are many. Between 200 and 300 activists total. Yes, very effective. Just four or five of them participate in an action to achieve unparalleled media coverage in the feminist movement.
In classical feminism, however, there is no unanimity about them. Some deplore their methods. Other greet him like fresh air. Are controversial, ultimately. So they have also talk in depth articles. In the middle of last year, after the Femen protest actions against the World Cup, in Ukraine, promised fans cheap sex, the French writer Nicole Muchnik came to his defense in this newspaper. In an article titled Sexual Provocation against sexual exploitation, Muchnik had its reasons and the risks assumed by members of the organization. The feminist writer and philosopher Beatriz Gimeno recently published on his blog a defense of Femen in trying to explain their origin: "The suffering Femen feminist brutally patriarchal ways that we sometimes believe to have overcome."
The activists are prepared as soldiers to fulfill its mission
The Deputy of Ascension de las Heras IU does not consider this to be a truly original motion because the transgression is a method widely used also by feminism, but considered positive.
Instead, many have serious doubts about the strategy followed. Teresa Nevado, president of Feminist Policy Forum Madrid, for example, is one of them. "Maybe what we intend to draw attention first and then place the message," he reflects. Carmen Plaza, CEO of Equal Opportunities, is another. "The instrumental use this movement makes the female body seems thereby contradicting some of his own postulates" he explains. Carmen Lake and Rocio Nieto, both involved in the fight against trafficking in women, do not believe that this is the way to end such a lucrative business and obscene that enslaves women. Lake is the most direct: "Not everything is in this world. I do not understand that women always have to get naked. Many things have been achieved without resorting to it, "protest.
This past week, the European Commission published a comprehensive report on human trafficking in Europe, which is increasing (by 18% between 2008 and 2010). Most victims (23,623 only in Europe) are women and girls (80%). Criminal organizations are exploiting those extremely violent and rarely we stop their occurrence. Alexandra Shevchenko is a young and pretty and seems to take fear permeated the body. "Last night, here in Berlin," had on Friday, "I had to run because a man followed me from the train station on his way home. This shows that here in Europe, anywhere, these things happen. I spent so afraid ... ".
"I do not know why we should get naked", criticizes an activist
Facing the classic activism, women of Femen believe to be breaking the bad reputation of feminism, traditionally ridiculed by machismo. As explained in Alexandra Shevchenko Hoy.es itself, they have shown that no single feminism, as intended, and ugly lesbians who just want to castrate men.
From Ukraine to Arab countries
De Ucrania a los países árabes
Amina Tyler, tunecina de 19 años, desnuda y fumando en su página de Facebook. En su cuerpo se lee: "Mi cuerpo me pertenece y no representa el honor de nadie". Amina se encuentra desaparecida.
Tyler Amina, Tunisian, 19, naked and smoking in their Facebook page. In your body reads: "My body belongs to me and not representing anyone's honor". Amina is missing.
It does not seem the same woman. Tyler Amina, a Tunisian woman of nineteen, had the audacity to hang up on Facebook last March 1 a picture of him shirtless. Appeared makeup, smoking and a legend in Arabic on his chest: "My body belongs to me and not representing anyone's honor". Last week, speaking via Skype with FEMEN activist Inna Shevchenko, seems a shy and frightened after the ordeal suffered.
A few days of exhibiting his bold picture that chatting with friends at a cafe in the center of Tunisia when a cousin and her father surprised gripping hard and taking her home. His abduction moved Femen activists to launch a campaign to demand information about Tyler Amina.
She escaped from imprisonment on 15 April and has contacted from hiding with Femen. He says he spent several weeks at the home of his aunt, his private mobile communication with the outside world, beaten, dazed from the drugs they gave him to be calm and forced to study the Koran and listen to a magnet for several hours day. Until fled.
His mother has told the Agence France Presse fear for his daughter because he spent six years in psychiatric treatment. The explanation is the worst and most traditional to turn to that is out of the norm, which has always given the family: she's crazy. "It is she who is crazy", he replied in an article published in the Algerian newspaper El Watan on 29 March, the lawyer and Tamzali Wassyla Algerian feminist writer, author of the book The burkas as an excuse. "It is society that is crazy."
Femen's message is catching on particularly strong in countries that have experienced the Arab Spring, where women see their rights back. Wherever advances fundamentalism, which extends beyond the veil as a religious duty inexcusable, is penetrating more clearly the transgressive and liberating message of women who claim their body as their own. Applauds Tamzali Femen movement without any palliative. "His is a smart and courageous, especially in Arab countries that have led women to situations of great danger," he says by phone from Algiers. Create Femen's actions have coincided with similar movements in Egypt, Tunisia or in their own country. "It's scary to see a woman in a burka" he says. "And it's sad to know that it has been necessary to come to this, to this extremism, so that people begin to react. All forms of feminism are interesting, important and complementary and to me is more violent, pornographic and unnatural ensure a three year old girl that all the actions you can perform Femen. Islamists are engaged in violence while girls of Femen are limited to show women as is ".
Tyler Amina's lawyer has recommended to leave Tunisia. You can be sentenced to six months for breach. She is willing to go. But first, he said, will make another protest. Topless.
