Held on March 26th, Free The Nipple Day highlights the unjust treatment of women for being perceived indecent if appearing topless in public, while it is considered socially acceptable that men do so. In 2012, filmmaker Lina Esco launched the campaign during the production of her documentary of the same name, which featured her walking topless in the streets of NYC. Facebook removed the film's teasers for violating its guidelines, and in 2014, various celebrities, including Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, and Lena Dunham, showed support by posting pictures of themselves on social media. Free The Nipple Day advocates for a radical change in the perception of the female body.
