It’s now officially Suitable for women to wash topless inside the Spanish town of Barcelona.
Authorities needed to set the record straight carrying out a report released in June showed some public pools were telling women to cover.
But women going for a topless afternoon dip is really a perfectly common sight inside the Catalan capital, whether at certainly one of its many rooftop pools or by the pool.
That’s why Mugrons Lluires, an offer group that combats gender discrimination, filed a complaint to the city council claiming that some pools were denying women’s rights by saying they couldn’t go topless.
After a study, the council’s office against discrimination issued research to all or any its pools instructing them to guarantee women’s equality and allow topless bathing.
A spokeswoman for Barcelona council told CNN that however, there aren't any written rules by what people can wear at its municipal pools, discrimination according to gender is prohibited.
She emphasised that bathing topless in Barcelona is certainly not new and had been common practice for a while.
Mugrons Lluires celebrated this news inside a tweet, saying Barcelona has become “egalitarian” and “free”.
