A group of female students from Kvennaskólinn grammar school in Reykjavík took to the streets to day to show their support for the ‘Free the Nipple’ campaign. The bare breasted group of girls marched proudly along Bankastræti street in down-town Reykjavík, and to the parliament building in Austurvöllur.

Yesterday, numerous student bodies and feminist associations declared today as ‘Free the Nipple’ day and urged female students to join the campaign by going braless.

“We’d been following the online discussion and decided to take things one step further. Most people were very supportive, although one did boo at us, and one lady even joined in,” Embla Huld Þorleifsdóttir, a student at Kvennaskólinn, told Vísir.
Kvennaskólinn was in fact Iceland’s first school for women, and its name, which translates to the School for Women, has been preserved to commemorate this milestone, although the school is now a mixed school.
International media has also caught wind of the campaign with websitesBuzzfeed and i-D reporting on it.
Þetta er það besta sem ég hef gert! # freethenipple
