The New Amazons

13 October 2011

Inna Schewtschenko (21) ist eine Anführerin von Femen, einer ukrainischen, fast ausschließlich aus jungen Frauen bestehenden Protestgruppe, die „oben ohne“ gegen Sextourismus, Sexindustrie und Heiratsvermittlung im Internet demonstriert. Die Anschuldigungen, dass ihre provokativen Methoden die Werte ihrer eigenen Bewegung untergraben, kontern sie mit der Behauptung, dass ihre Stimme kein Gehör fände, wenn sie einfach mit Spruchbändern protestieren würden.

Kiev, Ukraine

Inna Shevchenko (21) is a leader of Femen, a Ukrainian protest group comprising almost exclusively young women, which organizes topless demonstrations against such issues as sex tourism, the sex industry, and internet marriage brokering. They counter accusations that their provocative methods undermine their own movement’s values with the claim that if they staged simple protests with banners, their voice would not be heard.

Inna Shevchenko (21) es una líder de Femen, un grupo de protesta ucraniano formado casi exclusivamente por mujeres jóvenes, las cuales organizan manifestaciones en topless en contra de cuestiones tales como el turismo msexual, la industria del sexo y las agencias de matrimonio por Internet. A las acusaciones recibidas por sus métodos provocativos, que parecen desautorizar los valores de su movimiento, alegan que si llevaran a cabo sencillas protestas con pancartas su voz no se escucharía.

Inna Shevchenko (21 ans) est une des initiatrices de Femen, un groupe ukrainien de jeunes militantes féministes qui organise des manifestations seins nus contre le tourisme sexuel, l’industrie du sexe et les agences matrimoniales sur Internet. Elles rejettent les accusations selon lesquelles leurs méthodes provocantes sapent les valeurs de leur propre mouvement, en disant que si elles manifestaient tout simplement avec des banderoles, elles ne seraient pas entendues.

Inna Shevchenko (21 anni) è fra le leader del Femen, un gruppo di protesta ucraino formato quasi esclusivamente da giovani donne, che organizza proteste in topless contro temi come il turismo sessuale, l’industria del sesso e la mediazione matrimoniale via internet. Le attiviste respingono le accuse secondo cui i loro metodi provocatori indeboliscono i valori del movimento stesso, sostenendo che se manifestassero semplicemente con gli striscioni non verrebbero ascoltate.

Inna Sjevchenko (21) is een van de leiders van Femen, een Oekraïense protestgroep die bijna uitsluitend uit jonge vrouwen bestaat en die topless demonstraties organiseert tegen kwesties als sekstoerisme, de seksindustrie en huwelijksbemiddeling via internet. Het verwijt dat ze met hun provocerende methodes de waarden van hun eigen beweging ondermijnen, pareren ze met de bewering dat hun stem niet zou worden gehoord als ze een eenvoudig protest met spandoeken zouden organiseren.

Инна Шевченко 21 года – лидер украинской группы протеста Femen, почти целиком состоящей из молодых женщин. Эта группа организует топлесс-демонстрации против секс туризма, секс-индустрии и посредничества с целью устройства браков по Интернету. Группу обвиняют в том, что подобный провокационный метод протеста противоречит ее собственным принципам. Но участники группы считают, что их голос никогда бы не был услышан, если бы они проводили демонстрации с обычными плакатами.
