Online Campaign by women in Brazil protesting against the attitude that revealing clothing justifies rape



 This woman does a gesture as well as holding the poster which reads '#IDon'tDeserveToBeRaped'. The hashtag #EuNaoMereçoSerEstrupada, which translates as #IDon'tDeserveToBeRaped


Women across Brazil have united by taking pictures of themselves, wearing little or no clothing, with the words 'I don't deserve to be raped' in a protest against the attitude that revealing clothing justifies rape.


'I don't deserve to be raped either' reads this poster. This woman and hundreds of others have rallied in support of the campaign by tweeting revealing pictures
 

The online campaign has flooded social media after it was revealed that 65.1 per cent of Brazilians partly agreed with the statement that if a woman was provocatively dressed - she deserved to be abused

Brazilian women and men of all ages have tweeted pictures of themselves baring all in the controversial campaign to change perceptions in the country.

This is Nana Quieroz who started the protest by posting this picture after she read the shocking statistics that 61 % of Brazilians believe, or partly believe that a woman wearing revealing clothing deserves to be raped
 
'Clothes do not define character!! #No woman deserves to be raped. #I don't deserve to be raped'
