Women’s group protest against sex tourism

Ukrainian women’s movement FEMEN held a demonstration in Kiev today to highlight concerns of potential sex tourism during the 2012 UEFA European Championship (EURO 2012).

The rally was held on St Michael’s Square, prior to the official unveiling of the competition’s logo.

FEMEN is best known for its street protests against the increasing number of sex tourists visiting Ukraine. Most feature its members dressed as sex workers.

The group fears that the government may legalise prostitution in the run up to the competition, following similar moves in other countries that have held major sporting events.
