Anna Hutsol[a 1] (Anna Vasylivna Hutsol;[1] Ukrainian: Ганна Гуцол; born 16 October 1984[2]) is a Ukrainian activist and founder of FEMEN.

Biography

Hutsol was born in Russia but moved to Ukraine with her parents in 1991.[3][a 2] Hutsol is an economist[4] and a former assistant to singer Tina Karol.[5]

Hutsol founded FEMEN in 2008 after she became attuned to the sad stories of Ukrainian women duped by false promises from abroad:[6] "I set up FEMEN because I realised that there was a lack of women activists in our society; Ukraine is male-oriented and women take a passive role."[7] According to Hutsol the skills she acquired during her time with Tina Karol have helped FEMEN's "public relations".[5] FEMEN's main choice of action is topless demonstrations.[8] The group started protesting against sex tourism[9][10] [why?] and broadened their agenda to women's rights and civil rights in Ukraine and around the world.[11]

Hutsol wanted to seek representation for FEMEN in the Verkhovna Rada in January 2011;[12] but FEMEN did not take part in the October 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[13][14]

According to a border service official because "Hutsol is on the list of people barred from entering Russia"[why?][15] she was detained by the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation on 16 November 2012 at Pulkovo Airport in Saint Petersburg (Russia).[15][16] Hutsol was deported back to (her point of departure) Paris (France) on the earliest flight available.[15]

Late August 2013 Shevchenko and fellow FEMEN-members claimed to have fled out of Ukraine ("Fearing for their lives and freedom").[17][18][19] Hutsol request for asylum in Switzerland late 2013, but the authorities rejected it on 27 March 2014.[20]
