Recall Center of gender culture has opened recently in Kharkiv. The purpose of the project is to host a place where anyone, regardless of gender, age, social status, occupation and education can receive basic knowledge about gender issues, including human rights and gender-based discrimination.
Reference. FEMEN is a group of topless female activists. The organization became internationally known for organizing controversial topless protests against sex tourism, religious institutions, sexism, homophobia and other social, national and international topics. Originally founded in Ukraine, the group is now based in Paris.
