For International Business Times: Dominique Strauss-Kahn: My car-jumping FEMEN sisters struck a crucial blow for sex workers.
by Inna Shevchenko:
“Imagine the words “voulez-vous coucher avec moi?” addressed ironically with a Ukrainian accent by a bunch of female activists – wearing housekeeper uniforms and armed with buckets, mops and other cleaning tools – to the ex-IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn in 2011 in front of his house in Paris.
That was our first meeting with DSK. That time we took a long journey from Kiev to Paris to protest against the dropping of sex assault charges Strauss-Kahn faced after his well publicised encounter with Nafissatou Diallo. A related civil claim was settled out of court and therefore did not proceed.
A few years later, FEMEN’s international team resumed its topless assault against DSK with in connection with the trial in which he and others face charges of aggravated pimping trial. Prepared in our Paris headquarters, the team of French and Spanish topless activists welcomed Strauss-Kahn at the court in the French city of Lille on Tuesday 10 February.
My fellow activists ran on the car tha ansporting DSK, shouting “your turn to be f****d” to the man who was a potential candidate for the French presidential elections in 2012.
