Ukrainian Alumna Organizes Kyiv Protest Against Sex Tourism

KYIV, UKRAINE – Open World alumna and NGO activist Anna Hutsol took the lead in organizing a July 30 protest in central Kyiv against Ukraine’s growing sex tourism industry. Members and supporters of Hutsol’s women’s organization, FEMEN, staged a “street theater” event and held up placards saying “Ukraine is Not a Bordello” in different languages. The goal of the protesters, mainly female university students, was to encourage the Ukrainian government to take legislative action against sex tourism. The rally was covered byhttp://Reuters.com, the English-language Kyiv Post, and many other media outlets. Hutsol visited Bethlehem, PA, in 2007 on a women as leaders exchange hosted by Northampton Community College and the Academy for Educational Development. Open World recently caught up with the dynamic young activist and asked about her work and Open World’s contribution to it. read more
