A grassroots group of women in Ukraine
are encouraging a s*x embargo with
Russian men to bring attention to the
situation in Crimea.
“We believe that in the context of
military occupation of the territory it is
silly to continue to assert that all men
are brothers,” said organizer Katerina
Venzhik to Foreign Policy . “What Russia is
doing in Ukraine is terrible, but the
world sees their actions primarily
through the prism of the pro-Putin
propaganda.”
The women are taking criticism, mostly
from Russia, where people are calling the
women “prostitutes” and their actions
“vulgar and primitive.”
The movement is small but the group says
all proceeds from merchandise sales will
go to the cash-strapped Ukrainian army
which is so poor, they have taken up
phone drives for $ .50 pledges.
