107. That's weird when I googled, I found lots of information and links

Wiki comes up first and pretty clearly articulates what they stand for and what they do.

The goals of the organization are "to shake women in Ukraine, making them socially active; to organize in 2017 a women's revolution." It describes itself as "radical feminism".FEMEN has pledged to fight the sex industry, the Church and its traditionalist stances against women (such as prohibition of abortion), and "patriarchal society," as well as those who oppose equal rights for the LGBT community. FEMEN has expressed opposition against Islamism, Sharia law and spoken against the practice of FGM. The organization claims "to unite young women basing on the principles of social awareness and activism, intellectual and cultural development" to "recognise the European values of freedom, equality and comprehensive development of a person irrespective of the gender" and "To build up the image of Ukraine, the country with great opportunities for women"

It goes on to say they are working to help craft legislation and they recently published a book as well as setting up a training center for activists in France. For the first five years this is a lot imho along with their very public demonstrations.

You DO know that some protests are organized around one very simple message and that's the whole point of the action right? Cindy Sheehan, the protests against the Iraq War, candlelight vigils for murdered children etc etc - NONE of these are designed to do anything more than bring attention to the message. That doesn't diminish their importance or power or necessity. You seem to want to denigrate any protest action that doesn't have some tangibles attached but some of the most effective demonstrations can be about getting out a single message and nothing more.
