Taroudant, Morocco- Three Moroccan women took to the street almost naked this week in the neighborhood of Ben Saleh, in the old medina of Marrakech, according to the Moroccan daily Annass in its edition of Wednesday, May 14.
Along the lines of the radical feminist exhibitionist group FEMEN, the three Moroccan topless girls danced in public seductively while people were coming out of the mosque.
The same source added that the scene shocked residents of the neighborhood as the three women refused to get dressed and attacked anyone approaching them.
Witnesses said that the women were probably under the influence of drugs.
While Morocco has never seen a FEMEN motivated topless protest, Femen France’s Page posted last year a picture allegedly of a “Moroccan” topless girl holding a banner that reads “FREE FEMEN”.
Shot on the roof of what it looks architecturally like a Moroccan coastal city, the fan page claimed that the image was for the “First topless in Morocco”.
Arab women’s right activists, including Moroccans did not approve of the way FEMEN activists protest.
Moroccan pro-democracy activist Zineb Belmkaddem once maintained that using a woman’s naked body to change policy is simply bad for women.
