Go Topless Day is a day and an annual event to support the right of women to go topless in public on gender-equality grounds. While one may find the idea very glamorous and fashion-oriented, it's a lot more than that. The day is not celebrated to go merely topless but it's a rather powerful voice to fight all the restrictions being imposed on the modern-day woman. Like how Instagram is still against women showing off their nipples on the photo-sharing site and takes down posts that don't follow their primitive guidelines! Ocean City Ban on Topless Women at Beach Upheld by Judge, but Should Society Differentiate Between Male and Female Breasts?

Besides voicing against Instagram's not-so-cool rules, celebrities have also posed naked and gone topless to promote PeTA's different campaigns. The organisation that fights for animal rights has roped in multiple celebs in the past to be the voice of their no-fur, no-wool campaigns and this includes some famous names like Eva Mendes and Taraji P. Hensen. Benafsha Soonawalla's Sexy Topless Photos Removed From Instagram, Actress Says 'They Couldn't Handle Extra Hotness' (View Deleted Pics).

I specifically asked for no re touching on this photo, and lemme tell you I have insecurities, about pretty much everything. That's natural & that's human. You might look at this photo and think oh shush bella, but just know everytime someone looks in the mirror they simply don't see what everyone else sees. Know that it's completely normal to feel insecure and it's accepted. honestly I wish everyone talked more about their insecurities so more people in the world could know they aren't alone. That it's ok. As a public persona you know naturally that everytime you shoot with a magazine there is always small retouching. Cuz yeah if they show my acne scars or a wrinkle in my forehead or my teeth aren't perfectly white, people will look at the photo and say no she's not perfect and usually most people don't want the public trashing and I get it, But fuck it I'm here to tell you that's right I'm not FUCKING PERFECT. IM A HUMAN BEING AND IM REAL. So hip hop your asses over the fence and GET OVER IT. @gqmexico #bellathorneGQ

Go Topless Day is also observed to motivate women to be comfortable in their own skin. It's an initiative to break stigmas and make everyone aware of body positivity. Society doesn't get to dictate terms or appreciate girls on their body types. The day is marked to empower women mentally and that's the need of the hour. So go ahead and support this initiative. Your voice matters.
