Women go topless at Euro 2012 to protest prostitution

Members of the Ukrainian feminist group, Femen, have been removing their tops outside soccer stadiums at Euro 2012 in order to protest prostitution.

The Femen activists flooded the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland hoping to shed light on the world's oldest profession and the rampant Ukrainian sex trade crisis while hundreds of thousands of soccer fans around the world are watching.



Sounds like the group wants to get something off their chest in more ways than one, but doing it in front of gangs of leering, drunken men seems counter-productive.

The International HIV/Aids Alliance has handed out over a million condoms to fans and prostitutes in hopes of curbing the spread of diseases.

The sex trade is booming during the tournament as thousands of young women have migrated to the host cities with the hope of making some fast cash or even finding love "Pretty Woman" style.
