Women across the world on Sunday, August 23, 2015 freed their nipples to mark the 8th annual GoTopless Day in the ongoing campaign to make topless sunbathing acceptable.
The actress and model, Rachel Jessee, who leads the GoTopless group in NYC, where a topless pride parade took place on the streets of Manhattan said: “Our goal is for equal gender topless rights to be enforced worldwide, freeing women’s nipples.”
Authorities have restricted people from walking around topless in New York City since 1992.
Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton are currently trying to get topless, body-painted women banned from the city’s Times Square, declaring them ‘a nuisance’.
During the campaign, several streets in mid-Manhattan were blocked to traffic so around 300 topless protesters could parade through the city, Metro UK reports.
The protest in Edinburgh, lasted for two hours where approximately 50 persons took their tops off and staged a sit-in protest on the Royal Mile.
Many of the protests took place i n the US, where GoTopless Day is observed annually on the closest Sunday to Women’s Equality Day of August 26, the date in 1920 when American women earned their right to vote.
