Oksana Shachko

Oksana Shachko is a Ukrainian artist and activist with FEMEN. She was one of the founders of FEMEN in April 2008, along with Anna Hutsol and Alexandra Shevchenko. Shachko had been born in Khmelnytskyi but had moved to Kiev. FEMEN initially protested about issues affecting women students, but rapidly moved on to demonstrating against the sexual exploitation of Ukrainian women. and against sex tourism in 2008. Initially Femen gained attention by demonstrating while dressed in underwear however, in August 2009 Shachko bared her breasts at a protest in Kiev. Since then FEMEN activists have regularly protested topless, and broadened their agenda to womens rights and civil rights in Ukraine and around the world. Shachko cooperated with French writer Galia Ackerman who produced a history of FEMEN which was published by CalmannLvy in 2013.
