    Despite the harsh Ukraine winter, the 300 young women of the Kiev feminist/activist group Femen still believe that the best way to have their voices heard is when 20 of them are seen... topless.
    The group's slogan is: "Our God is woman, our mission is protest, our weapons are bare breasts."
   "Our goal is active Ukrainian women who want to be involved in society and politics.We thought we'd create an organization where young girls could come and help others like them and help society. And the format we picked was this extremely sexy, bright way of presenting ourselves," says the group's leader Anna Gutsol, 26.
