Hundreds of men and women have gone topless
to stage a protest on one of Britain’s most
popular beaches (Brighton) to ‘Free the Nipple
’and make boobs more acceptable in society.
The campaign's aim is to highlight social media
policies over banning nipples. They want social
media to allow women’s nipples to be visible.
Despite the event, which held on Wednesday,
being a success the group are already planning
for another march in the upcoming campaign on
August 28.
The protesters marched from Brighton Pier to
East Sussex city seafront before stopping on
the beach where everyone sunbathed topless.
The event was organised by comedian
Samantha Pressdee, who came to Brighton with
her one-woman comedy show about nudity and
sexuality.
Samantha said:
‘I’ve been a member of the Free The
Nipple campaign over the past year. I
joined the campaign to challenge the
way women’s breasts were perceived.
Breasts have been sexualised and the
point of this campaign is that they don’t
have to be sexual.’
We had a lovely time, loads of pictures
were taken.We ended up relaxing on the
beach, some people decided to go for a
swim whilst others brought out their
guitars’.
