Femen Group

Femen Group came to my attention, when I was reading online news that it carried a successful campaign to shut down Christmas Service in Vatican and disrupt Christmas Service around European nations.   

I googled 'Femen Group' so that I can gain access to its website in order to educate myself about this group. I noticed these women are going to public areas and take off their shirts and are not wearing bras. It seems that they were challenging patriarchy values. Most importantly, they were discussion vital issues; such as, Putin's War in Ukraine, God is a female person so society would not make rules base on male values. 

 

Interestingly,  these men were afraid of topless women and were rushing at them so that they could cover their bodies. The question is who is making these women to act they way they do? Men. Indeed, there are men who control the political institutions, the religious institutions, the economic sectors and no room left for women to take part in politics, religion or economic. They are forced to corner of their homes as if they were born to serve men. It is about time to having phobia about women's body, and accepting these women as they are. Yes, male patriarchy society has female phobia and needs to stop that phobia.

It is about time to listen to these women what they are saying, and assisting them to become part of bigger picture of their nations. It is wrong by attacking at them, and marginalizing further in their communities, but to empower and inspiring them.  

Let's stop violence against women.
