National Nipple Day

National Nipple Day is part of the free the nipple movement, which advocates for gender equality and the decriminalization of the female body. It's a day to challenge the double standards in media and society that hyper-sexualize one body part while ignoring another. This lesson explores the social gaze—why is society so terrified of a natural body part, and can a piece of clothing really change our human rights?
