<p>The Mexican capital threw an uncommon spectacle this weekend. Hundreds of Mexicans took to the streets of Mexico City on Saturday to mark North American country's first 'Naked Day'.

<p>According to the organisers, this first 'Naked Day' march in the Mexican capital sought to "generate visibility to nudism as a practice, philosophy, and social movement."</p>

<p>In addition to "generating a reflective dialogue on the relationship we have with our body and the benefits of normalising nudity."</p>

<p>"The intention is to inspire other nudist groups, cities and countries to do the same," Naked Day states on its official Twitter account.</p>

<p>The first march of this movement took place in July 2022, in Guadalajara, capital of the Mexican state of Jalisco, over 550 km northwest of Mexico City.</p>

<p>Since then, the nudism activists have sought to add a new city every year to their map while attempting to add more nudist groups in a bid to internationaise their movement.</p>

<p>The movement was joined by other organisations such as Nudist Pride, Nudist Colors, Nudist Culture, Polinudism, Somos Nudistas, Nudistasmx, Mexinud, among others, according to EFE.</p>
