KEY POINTS:
A group of Swedish women are making waves by taking their tops off at public swimming pools in a protest against what they call gender-biased rules on swimwear.
About 40 have joined the network, said Sanna Ferm, 22, one of the founders of the group called Bara Brost, or Bare Breasts.
"The purpose of the campaign is to start a debate about why women's bodies are sexualised," Ferm said.
She said the fact that men can be bare-chested in public swimming pools but not women is "a concrete example of how women have fewer rights than men."
The network was formed after two women who were swimming topless in a public swimming pool were asked to cover up or leave.
