( CNN ) -- For the past five years now , we here at the international women 's movement Femen have been waging an active campaign of resistance to the patriarchy in various corners of the world . We have been bringing the world the simple idea of women 's liberation by means of sexual emancipation as expressed in highly visible acts of political protest . We believe that the enslavement of women began with the enslavement of their sexuality , so we therefore consider it legitimate to use their liberated sexuality as a symbol of women 's worldwide liberation . We divide the patriarchy confronting us into three basic parts . First , dictatorship , as a tool for enslaving women . For this reason we are a democratic movement . The second part of the system consists of religion and the church , which have overseen the spiritual enslavement of women . For this reason Femen is an atheistic group motivated by secularism and humanism .

For this reason , then , Femen sees sexuality as the organon and canon of women 's freedom . Hence , our three basic postulates are democracy , atheism , and sexuality . From what we have related above , naturally the most hated institutions are those that stand for one of these three things or a mixture of them . The most obvious illustration of the patriarchy is Islamic theocracy , a symbiosis of political and religious dictatorship . In theocratic states , the position of women is horrifying and hopeless . We direct our fiercest criticism to such countries , and work in that part of the world is what most occupies our minds . A clear example of the `` Shariazation '' under way in the Middle East and North Africa is what our activist Amina Tyler has gone through . For having published in Facebook topless pictures of herself with `` F*** Your Morals '' written on her body , Amina suffered severe criticism and death threats , and was kidnapped , beaten , and subjected to humiliating treatment .

This young woman claims her own family took her far outside the confines of the city in which she lived to spend several weeks in a village unknown to her . There , shut up inside a house , she underwent a forced `` Islamization : '' they made her read the Quran and took her every day to see an imam . Amina 's family also declared her insane and compelled her to ingest large doses of medication . `` Because I was taking so many pills , I was sleeping all the time , '' Amina told me . `` And once I woke up , I understood that I did n't remember anything . '' Amina finally managed to escape . A few hours after Femen activists attacked the president of Tunisia shouting `` Where is Amina ? '' I received a phone call : `` Inna , this is Amina speaking ! I 've escaped from my family ! '' After a long conversation about what she had gone through during her period of forced isolation , I asked her whether she thought it best for her safety to leave Tunisia for a while . Amina answered that she would not leave Tunisia until she had carried out a topless protest with other Tunisian girls who had already established contact with her . Our understanding of Islamism , according to what we have learned fighting against it , tells us that our criticism of it is valid and holds out much hope for the future . At the heart of Islamism lies the enslavement of women based on control over their sexuality . The hijab is at the same time both a symbol and a tool of this enslavement . A mass sexual protest inspired by our example will serve as the first step toward women 's recovering their own nature and will be a turning point , sparking the dissolution of the Sharia and the return , to women , of control over the conditions of her existence , from the sexual to the political . I hereby both promise and threaten to deploy an entire network of Femen activists in Arab countries . We will hound Islamic leaders across the globe , subjecting them to desolating criticism . We intend to hound spiritual leaders who are personally responsible for mistreating women . A million Aminas will arise ! And freedom , at last , will dawn ! The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Inna Shevchenko .
Shevchenko : « Je suis très heureux de pouvoir jouer dans cette équipe She says dictatorship is used as a tool for enslaving women . Religion and the church have overseen the spiritual enslavement of women , she says .
