#FreeTheNipple, a popular social media protest, took the streets of Iceland by storm yesterday as women rallied support behind a 17-year-old student who received flak for going bare.
Adda Þóreyjardóttir Smáradóttir, chair of her high school’s feminist society, dubbed March 26 “Free The Nipple Day”. She inaugurated the day by posting a titillating image of herself, which received criticism from male classmates and harassment from online trolls. In a Facebook post, she said the bullying caused her to delete the photo, but her efforts did not go unnoticed.
Showing solidarity and defiance toward haters, women started freeing their nipples all across Iceland and beyond. Women paraded shirtless en masse on streets and school hallways, snapping and posting pictures along the way. Twitter was the medium of choice for sharing, as it does not police adult content to the extent Instagram and Facebook do.
The Free The Nipple movement has set out to challenge unfair laws and stigmas against topless women in the United States and around the world. The organization stands “against female oppression and censorship”, also challenging social media companies on their policies against nipple freedom (namely Instagram).
#FreeTheNipple has a strong social media campaign with active supporters including Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, and Cara Delevigne. The campaign has also produced a film. Source + video...
