"Day without bra" in solidarity with the German captain who saved 40 immigrants

The case of German captain Carola Rackete, who entered late June without authorization in an Italian port with 40 immigrants rescued from the sea and prosecuted criminally, added an unexpected turning point when a group of women summoned all Italian women "a day without a bra" on July 27th.

This day is not related to the courage shown by Rackete to challenge the Italian authorities nor to the humanitarian value of his action, but to a detail that scandalized a group of women.

The trigger was the title published by the Italian newspaper Liberto, which covered the judicial declaration given by the captain, prosecuted for violating the rules of navigation at its unauthorized entry into the port of Lampedusa.

"Carola Rackete without a bra in the prosecutor's office Descaro without limits," said the title of the article.

The badist title prompted a group of women in Turin to call on all Italian women to celebrate "a day without a bra" and to tell it on social media with the tag # freebadday (free nipple day), reported EFE agency.

"We claim the right of women to dress as they please without being criticized," Nicoletta Nobile and Giulia Trivero, two of the organizers of the period, told the media.

"The protest was born with irony, but the goal is not so superficial." Shocking because a woman does not wear a bodice, on the one hand, distracts us from the actual content ( of the news) and, on the other hand, reuses the body of the woman, "continued the two women.

"The political debate is hidden for the umpteenth time and the delegitimization of the arguments is carried out through the humiliation and censorship of the female body, so we propose one day to badert the right not to wear a bodice," he said. they concluded.
