Inna Shevchenko Biography

Inna Shevchenko is one of the most popular and richest Civil Rights Leader who was born on June 23, 1990 in Ukraine, Ukraine. Famous as a leader of the radical feminist group FEMEN, Shevchenko was involved in the organization of numerous topless protests that sought to bring attention to the damaging effects of patriarchal society.

She and the Mexican-born Susana Chavez both had high-profile careers as women’s rights activists.

Shevchenko made contact with two leading FEMEN activists Anna Hutsol and Alexandra Shevchenko (no relation) through the social networking site vKontakte and joined FEMEN early in 2009. Anna Hutsol had formed FEMEN in Kiev on 10 April 2008, with two friends, Alexandra Shevchenko and Oksana Shachko, from her hometown of Khmelnytskyi; they initially protested on issues affecting woman students, but rapidly moved to demonstrating against the sexual exploitation of Ukrainian women. Inna Shevchenko first demonstrated with FEMEN on 23 May 2009 in Kiev, against prostitution and under the banner, “Ukraine is not a Brothel”, in collaboration with DJ Hell. Late in August, 2009, Oksana Shachko became the first member of the group to bare her breasts during a protest; but not until 2010 did this become the usual tactic in FEMEN demonstrations, justified on the grounds that without the media attention generated by topless protests their message would not be heard. In debates within FEMEN over the ethics of topless protest, Inna Shevchenko at first opposed the tactic, then was persuaded of its validity. She was fired from her job in the Kiev Mayor`s press office after her arrest for taking part in a protest against the absence of women in Prime Minister Mykola Azarov’s cabinet in December, 2010, a decision which had angered her very much.

Inna Shevchenko (Ukrainian: Інна Шевченко ) is a feminist activist and the leader of international women’s movement FEMEN, which often demonstrates topless against what they perceive as manifestations of patriarchy, especially dictatorship, religion, and the sex industry. Shevchenko has a higher profile than the other members of the group. She was the leader of the three FEMEN activists reputedly kidnapped and threatened by the Belarus KGB in 2011. She achieved attention in Ukraine by cutting with a chainsaw and then bringing down a 4-metre high Christian cross in central Kiev in 2012.

She and her sister were raised in Kherson, Ukraine, as the daughters of a soldier father.
