Women in Berlin will soon be allowed to go topless in the city's public swimming pools, the Berlin state government said Thursday.
The new bathing rules that allow everyone to swim topless came as a result of a discrimination complaint from a woman who was not allowed to go topless at a pool in the capital.
The woman, whose identity was not disclosed, appealed to the relevant offices to request that women, like men, be able to swim topless, the Berlin Senate for Justice, Diversity and Anti-Discrimination said in a written statement.
In response to this complaint, the city's public pools will now change their rules.
For all Berliners, whether male, female or non-binary, there are now equal rules for entering the pools.
It is not yet clear when the new regulation will be implemented and whether there are certain people or groups who will oppose it.
