Viva La Revolution!

The video below depicts two French women walking the streets of Paris in not only niqabs but also rather revealing mini-skirts...

The video is a response to France's newly approved ban that prevents Muslim women from wearing niqabs.

They state in an interview that,

"We were not looking to attack or degrade the image of Muslim fundamentalists – each to their own – but rather to question politicians who voted for this law that we consider clearly unconstitutional. To dictate what we wear appears to have become the role of the state."

I personally love it! It has a kind of, "Power to The People" feel about it.

It is also a great example of a grassroots pr stunt and of how pr can be utilised by anybody, not just powerful groups and organisations.

It is also important to briefly mention how such a political protest would not be able to gain such momentum without mediums like youtube and etc.

Now, what can I do to exert a little pressure on the government to get my student load decreased...

Any suggestions?
