Dozens of topless women, joined by hundreds of fully clothed protesters, have demonstrated in Buenos Aires to demand the right to sunbathe semi-nude after police asked bare-breasted women to leave a nearby beach. Smaller protests have occurred throughout the country in recent weeks in response to the January incident and it remains unclear if Argentine law allows women to go topless on public beaches. Arguing that women should have the same right as men to sunbathe topless, the women chanted, painted slogans on their bodies and held signs reading: “The only breasts that bother them are the ones that aren’t for sale.” demonstration manifestation / dozen douzaine (dozens of une multitude de) / topless seins nus / to join rejoindre / fully clothed habillé / protester manifestant, militant / to demand exiger, réclamer / right droit / to sunbathe prendre un bain de soleil, se faire bronzer / semi-nude à moitié dévêtu/nu (ici, seins nus) / barebreasted (les) seins nus / nearby à proximité, (tout) proche, voisin / to occur avoir lieu / throughout à travers, partout dans, dans tout / it remains unclear cela reste incertain, on ne sait toujours pas, reste à savoir / law loi, législation / to allow autoriser / to go, went, gone ici, être / to argue avancer comme argument / to chant scander / sign pancarte / reading ici, sur lesquelles on pouvait lire / to bother déranger.
