Hundreds of men and women participated topless in the ‘Free the Nipple’ protest aiming to highlight the nipple ban.

Two hundred women and men paraded topless around Brighton Beach, UK, to highlight controversial social media policies about banning female nipples, as Daily Mail reports.

The march started from Brighton Pier, and then headed along the East Sussex city seafront before stopping on the beach – where everybody sunbathed topless.

The event was organised by comedian Samantha Pressdee, who is known for usually performing her acts topless.

Miss Pressdee said: ‘I’ve been a member of the Free The Nipple campaign over the past year.

‘I joined the campaign to challenge the way women’s breasts were perceived.

‘Breasts have been sexualised and the point of this campaign is that they don’t have to sexual.’
