FEMEN is a group founded in Ukraine that hopes to achieve the goal of “complete victory over the patriarchy.” It has become famous through various kinds of protests worldwide, predominantly carried out by topless activists.

FEMEN activist Inna Shevchenko confirmed that one of the movement's co-founders Oksana Shachko had taken her own life.

According to social media reports, Shachko died on Monday in her Paris apartment, leaving a note, written in English, allegedly stating "You are all fake." The activist has reportedly tried to commit suicide twice during the past two years.

The movement was founded in Ukraine in 2008 and registered in France in 2012. Shachko was one of three co-founders of the group, who used "sextremist" performances to be their tactics and consisted mainly of female Ukrainian  students.
