August 26th is Women’s Equality Day. It is the day when women in the U.S. earned the right to vote. But when it comes to equality we have a long way to go.
One major right that is still being denied to women these days is the right to be topless in public.
Yes, it seems that no matter how forward thinking we think we are, most people still have an issue with women exposing their breasts in public. Which is crazy if you think about it.
Nothing illustrates this point better than the following picture:

Luckily, there is a movement called Go Topless Day that organizes a protest every year on the Sunday that falls closest to Women’s Equality Day.
Although the website has not yet been updated, we contacted them and confirmed that the event will once again be taking place in Montreal. The date for this year’s event falls on Sunday, August 27th.

Check out their website for information on last year’s event. This year’s info will be added soon.
