Montreal demonstrators go topless in fight for gender equality
On a warm and sunny Sunday, Montrealers were taking in some rays at Jeanne Mance park. Men were sunbathing topless and women were joining them.
Alice Lacroix was one of the dozens of bare breast demonstrators at the Plateau Park. She organized Sunday’s topless protest. It was in response to the treatment of a Quebec City woman who was suntanning topless. “There’s nothing in the criminal code that says being topless for a woman is illegal,” said law professor Brenda Cossman,
“Half of the rest of the people on the beach were not wearing a top,” she added these people were all men.She vows to continue to fight for gender equality, like fellow attendees.
