Feminists march in Kyiv to protest against traditions, demand freeing Pussy Riot
On March 8, the International Women's Day, a march for women's rights was held in Kyiv, Radio Liberty reported on Friday.
More than a hundred women of the rally marched from Sofia Square to the building of Kyiv City State Administration chanting "Traditions are not a given! Our answer is solidarity," "Traditions impose violence and sexism! Let enlightenment and emancipation live!"
The participants in the march demanded to abandon the traditional, in their view, stereotypical role of women in society, to get rid of gender stereotypes.
According to Radio Liberty, they also chanted slogans "Freedom! Equality! Global Solidarity!" and carried banners containing a demand to release the convicted members of the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot.
