Feminist activists across Europe participated in the first ever International Topless Jihad Day by baring their breasts outside of mosques while shouting slogans of support for a young Tunisian woman. Many of the activists wore Islamic headscarves in keeping with the jihad theme.
Amina Tyler came under fire from radical Islamists in March after posting photos of herself with slogans on her body that read “Fuck Your Morals†and “My Body Belongs To Me, And Is Not The Source Of Anyone’s Honor†on Femen’s Tunisian Facebook page. Femen is a feminist organization that was founded in 2008 in Eastern Europe that advocates for a variety of feminist causes through radical forms of protest.
Islamic groups were not happy about this and defaced the page by placing quotes from the Quran all over it. Some even said that she should be stoned. Tyler has been in hiding with her family since the negative response from the Islamic community.
Femen was largely responsible for the supportive protests for Tyler that took place outside Mosques across Europe this week.
“We’re free, we’re naked, it’s our right, it’s our body, it’s our rules, and nobody can use religion, and some other holy things, to abuse women, to oppress them. And we’ll fight against them. And our boobs will be stronger than their stones,†said Femen activist Alexandra Shevchenko.
