FEMEN is a Ukrainian feminist group notorious for their topless protests and confrontational tactics. What are they protesting? A whole slew of social and political issues, including the sex industry, homophobia, the Catholic church, Islam, misogyny, patriarchy and the exploitation and oppression of women. Since its founding in 2008, the group has spread to other countries in Europe, claiming membership well over one hundred thousand women and continues to garner attention for their provocative outcries.
