Fremen Movement Is Against Sex-Tourism In Ukraine

Members of Femen women’s movement, mostly Ukrainian college students, came out against the growth of sex-tourism in the state. To attract interest on a national and international level they headed to Maidan Nezalezhnosti wearing revealing attires and carrying demonstration posters, which said “Ukrainian girls are not for sale!”
Public reaction on a group of girls in pink tights and mini-skirts ranged a lot. Some of people were quite positive about the idea brought up by the girls who were chanting “Ukraine is not a brothel”, and the rest of them just catcalled the activists. The girls came up to male foreigners, irrespective of citizenship, and gave them leaflets, containing information on the theme and saying that Ukraine remains one of the most AIDS-affected countries.

Other groups of activists dressed in doctor’s overalls with syringes were standing at embassies of several countries. Doctor’s overalls were a symbol of sex-addiction of some foreigners, and the girls were telling that guests of the state should chuck this off.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Ukraine, there around 12 thousand prostitutes in the country, most of them being teenagers. In Kiev 60 per cent of them are university or college students. A high unemployment rate, low income and heavy living expenses drive young girls sell their bodies.

According to official statistics, in 2008 the average monthly income in Kiev was as much as EUR 300. A lot of people lost their jobs this year or had their salaries reduced because of the economical crisis.

Poor economic circumstances and imperfect immigration laws provided a fertile field for sex-tourism, the spokeswoman of Fremen movement Tanya Kozak told. Together with Kiev International Institute of Sociology they surveyed 1,200 college students and 70 per cent of them admitted that at discos, bars and out in the street they were at least once approached by foreigners with indecent proposals.

Prostitution is officially prohibited in Ukraine, that’s why these proposals come from websites, semi-modest ads and are made at night-clubs. Last year a 21-year old concierge from one of the most luxurious hotels in Kiev was arrested for mediating between rich clients and prostitutes – he got $100 for each “deal’.

Fremen movement was supported by DJ Hell, who came from Germany to participate in the campaign. Together with his band he flew to Kiev and made a real show in the very heart of the capital. The girls designed special costumes with symbolic price tags. This show was aimed at demonstrating how much suffering women in Ukraine have to go through, said DJ Hell.

Ukraine will become the hosting country of Euro 2012 Football Championship, and Femin activists say that the country will experience a great burst of sex-tourism. They are sure that not all soccer fans are attracted exclusively by sport.

First!
This black ukrainian girl was on ER before or there is large black minority there?
I like the idea of this movement. Girls should’t charge for sex
That would be ideal world.
She’s a gypsy, not black.
All of these women are not from Ukraine. FEMEN brings girls from all over the EU which is why you see black and Germans.
Are they serious?
Yes
what did they pay dj hell? a night with one of the girls?
Is there any particular reason why the movement is called Femen in some passages and Fremen in others? Nice Herbert connotation though…
Dress up like prostitute to protest against prostitution is not logical or smart.
Yup. I thought I was the only one that noticed.
Lol… If I haven’t red text in English I would thought they are prostitues…
yeah! but overall,almost all ukrainian girls dressed like that..especially in simferopol! i spent six years there..so i know
They are just making a statement. “The only way to get sex is to pay for it! And by that I mean, an expensive restaurant and some other expensive activity… we will then decide if you get sex.”
The ‘tourists’ wouldn’t buy something that’s not for sale. Therefore the slogans should be in Ukarinian.
PS: I’m Ukrainian and actually live 30 mins walk from where it happened, so you can see that not only foreighers are perplexed by the above.
Yes, because a bunch of semi-naked women are going to stop men from going to the country for sex.
Twats…
this is the wrong way to explain good idea
they are making sexy advertisement! Not anti-Sex-Tourism
Yes,
The first impression I got was
“Ukrainian girls are not for sale!”
they are for free!!!
If they are against prostitution why they are dressed like it!? It only insity to it!
Right…
i am sure “DJ Hell” is there to help the plight.
These issues will never be resolved, as the goverment just like russia is more interested in it’s own ideals. not the care of the peoople
It could be solved, but the politicians don’t care. Politicians just care about money and taxes (so they can pay for prostitutes).
I don’t get it, those ladies want to have sex for free?
And I thought that Russian woman were smart.
Love you, gay boy!
Mind not mistaking Ukrainians for Russians? It’s an article about Ukrainian women protesting in Ukraine, you know? They dress WAY more explicitly than us. I worked in Kiev on a project and it was really out of this world how they dress normally.
Russian women actually dress quite concervatively, and you’re hearing this from a person who lived in the middle east for several yaers
Bear in mind the varied target for this. It’s not just the government and not just the sex tourists. It’s also other women. In fact, it’s also immature (so called) men, such as often found posting here.
They’re doing the right thing and they’re doing it right.
sure it is ! its the bordell for the usa, and maybe the whole nato, georgia inclusive.
Prositutes against prostitution… Errr. It’s like “Rock bands against drugs”.
Prostitutes against prostitution… Errr. It’s like “Rock bands against drugs”.
I think this idea gained the girls the necessary attention. I love it! I am going to pass this on to others I know who deal with women’s issues. If we do not stand together to find alternatives to sex business, millions of women’s lives will be ruined.
Safe sex is usually practiced but if a man or woman runs out of condoms and she is horny enough the sex will happen anyway!
Hah!! One of the signs being carried syas sex is not for sale. Get real, women were the worlds first entrepreneurs. Paying for sex in one form or another has always been around.
“The difference between prostitution and marriage is about the same as the difference between retail and wholesale trade.”
hmm…it’s good they get the word out on the issue but the way they showed it ruins it for me.
Shit
Was this performance
http://www.theync.com/media.php?name=10930-russian
also a part of protest?
wow wee their pretty
If they keep dressing like they want sex then they will keep getting asked for it.
I don’t mean any disrespect to Ukarainian peoples, but in French, the sign looks like it’s saying “Ukraine is a brothel”, it just made me laugh, again no disrespect.
umm… so to make the point that Ukraine women aren’t for sale they have them dress like whores and go topless!?!?
I guess I just don’t get it.
I would think they’d not dress like whores when telling everyone they’re not whores…
“Goooooogle”
um… why make this sign?
Ukraine? Never heard of such a country…
Perhaps you mean the Province of Ukraine of the Great Russian Federation?
Russian Federation? Never heard of this country. Perhaps you mean the Ostmark of Groß-Deutschland?
I am confused with kind of dress they wear. They claim tourist paying for sex but from the other hand they encourage everyone to have even dirtiest thoughts. Is that conclusion that sex has to be for FREE or what..
r they promoting sex tour?
Hey, if these girls are going to sell sex there will always be buyers. To dress up like a bucnch of sluts only makes it worse. Thw young women/girls dress like this so what do they expect? Probably not an Orthodox priest. So WTF- they ask for something like money and get it.
Money for sex. Oldest job in the world. Young pussy ain’t gonna stop what others do all the time. Legal or not it will continue. Of course, business will be better with major sporting events.
A public event is a farce. …Just ask the women “selling” what they have…
eta moya dva rubles
Lol, why are russian/ukrainian people so ridiculous.. i mean really.. this is how they go about spreading their message? Sexy young attractive girls undress and do silly things and the message that’s supposed to come across is that Ukraine is not a place to go for sex? This only makes me wanna go to Ukraine for sex tourism. Maybe we’re missing the real message, are they saying come to Ukraine for sex, just don’t insult us by paying for it?
I know solution: Ukraine should adopt strict visa regime and decline entrance to males 20 to 60 y.o. unless escorted by their wives, exactly as EU and USA decline visa to young, unmarried Ukrainian girls
I think this is definitely a joke. Girls in stockings, underwear and even topless, heavy make up, sexy poses. all to not promote prostitution… eh… ok. ? ? ?
are they serious ?
“
calling aganist sex while they are nude ?
who sees these pic at 1st look will think they call for
“sex not for sale .. but it’s free
Apparenty this means Ukranian women are for sale. Sometimes I admire womens logic.
it’s called sarcasm, guys…
and by showing off like that, they can at least get the attention they want.
Ukrianian girls are not for sale!
free of charge and sometimes even pays back …
kidding
think this happens to most eastern europe and central asia countries, where u find more women than men
Ukranian girls may not be for sale but… who the hell said I was going to pay?!
Kind of the wrong way to go about protesting I think…
hahah again ukranian hoes, all their country runs on! theiк only natural resource.
seems that the guy with white shirt is a dealer!
It looks like his shirt reads Fucking Hell!
Fremen, lol. what is this Arrakis?
Most of Ukarnian girls are based on Leningradskoe highway.
from 100 to 500 dollars for night.
This highway is the only road from Sheremetevo 2.
If I was not married I would fly to Ukraine and meet some women.I am aroused by how much skin they are showing for their anti sex movement!!
What is SEX?
they should all have to join army they have too much opinione
stupid idea.
silly ass girls
pretty girls standing semi naked to stop prostitution.
pffff. i must say, it may increase the business rather than denting it
Something tells me that one way or another, you’re going pay, whether it be in cash or years of high-pitched harping and nagging, you’re going to pay.
True that.
Got it
While it’s terrible for anyone to be forced into prostitution just to eat (especially kids) most of the girls I see today do it because they are just so greedy for designer shoes, handbags and shiny rocks that they can show off to their friends.
I see the same thing when I go to Japan. Men work themselves to death to send their kids to good schools and then the greedy sluts suck dicks to buy Louis Vuitton bags and Prada shoes.
As a heriditary Ukrainian-Canadian male I’m very proud of these young “nashe ludi” girls, standing up to the simple fucks who come into the country & take advantage of their economic plight. Both Canada & the U.S. have sex tourism laws. Now it’s up to the Ukrainian police & courts to start convicting these dickless wonderers & begin forwarding their names to InterPol, so we can subsequently charge & convict them here.
Then we can start to work on the Jews who come up from Israel & ‘turn’ our young country-women into sex slaves in Turkey & The Promised Land. Once done there, they’re sold to pimp clients in New York & Las Vegas. Every young girl deserves a future, not a coat hanger whipping by someone who can’t find it in himself to actual work for a living.
Ukrainian ladies rock! You go haydamaky on their dumb-ass!
My compliments for your post!
Anybody seen my boyfriend pimp?
Even in kieve there are black negros damn theyr like cocroaches
fuck you dumb ass.
Good advertising! I totally will go to Ukraine to have nice sexy time with them.
Cute hohloushkee!
I think they are trying to say: “Look how sexy we are and no you can’t have us. Na nana naa naaa.” However Russia and Ukraine are large countries, and the odds look good for the sex tourist.

Both Russian and Ukranian women can be hot, smart, dangerous and easy… it all depends on the circumstances
There’s no such thing as a free shag.
What was it again that they’re advertising. . . uh, protesting?
oh yeah.. protesting??? or advertising?? or just wanting attention?
but in the end.. prositute, girlfriend, or wife, they are still ULTIMATELY going to be looking at your wallet to see how much you are worth…. or how much they can get.
It is about time that something is done about the sex-tourism. For the client is all about sex and fun, for the girl is about selling herself. If she is lucky it is only sex, if not than rape and beating her up, or even ending up with out an organ or sold as a sex-slave. I am sure that if some the idiots (here) did see a girl after she was beaten, or cut-open, they wouldn’t react as they did here.
I love Russian women. I wish I had a beauty with me right now
runkmaterial?
“Ukraine ist kein Bordell” actually means “Ukraine is no brothel”.
#EPICFAIL .
fuck yes, it’s dj hell in the first pic.
So… They’re pro-feminism yet they’re dressing like complete whores. Logic has failed me again….
This DJ from picture… is so familiar. Sign on shirt explain everything… is DJ HELL from Germany. One of famous electronic music djs and producers. Huh… Hell sell himself on crappy event. If somebody don’t want xchange body to money… never go to the street and stick out ass… this is one true rule.
