Naked Protesters & Nude Activists

This is obviously one of the lovely ladies of FEMEN, and apparently she’s protesting in Kiev for the right to winter heating. Yes, that’s snow on the grass behind her:

All the way back in 2004, Naked Protesters brought you a couple of pictures (see here and here) of an Act Up! protest in New York, in support of better foreign aid to AIDS-ridden countries. Here’s another nice photo of that demonstration:

If I’ve run my Google translates correctly, this picture is from a 2009 student protest in Brazil, where folks turned out (naked, of course!) in support of a woman expelled for wearing a mini-dress:

More pictures here.

This is said to be a labor protest of sorts — the nude “life” models of Paris taking to the streets back in 2008 to demand “a pay increase, proper contracts and…respect for their craft.”

Just a link, because people pretending to be dead don’t fit the visual standards to which this website aspires:

Impaled with fake spears and smeared with phony blood, naked Spaniards protest bullfighting in Madrid.

The detailed context of this protest is somewhat unclear from the link, but we know these are Yoruba women protesting on April 29, 2009 in Ekiti:

Here’s Anonymous, protesting against Scientolog-jism. It’s a little raunchy, so just a link. And a back-up link, since Tumblr links don’t always last so long.

I’ve been neglecting Naked Protesters, but this latest Femen action out of the Ukraine is too nice to ignore. I believe the girls (who were also responsible for an awesome spank-in not so long ago in protest against academic corruption) may have been welcoming U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on a state visit.
