Meet Kiev's controversial anti-prostitution activists. The cost of living in Kiev is not cheap - not much less than in many western European capitals. And yet the average income, according to government statistics, is euros a month. Coupled with lax visa laws for travellers, the conditions have led to the country's sex tourism industry becoming what is thought to be the biggest in Europe.
It's no secret; websites like the one that calls itself "Ukraine's number one escort agency" - describe girls by exactly what they'll do in the bedroom, along with a list of prices. Prostitution is supposed to be illegal.
FEMEN, the group of activists in question, says that the government is doing nothing to stop the practice. Which is why they're taking such drastic measures to bring attention to it. But are they the right ones? Give your opinion.
