(KCEN) -- Hundreds of women are going topless on Facebook to bring attention to PTSD.
Women around the world are participating in Battle Bare.
They post pictures of themselves topless on the Battle Bare Facebook site, with the Battling Bare pledge written on their bodies.
Ashley Wise came up with the idea to bring attention to PTSD by posing topless when she was desperately trying to get help for her husband at Fort Campbell.
Wise said, "I felt like streaking the general's lawn, because then maybe a naked woman would get attention and they wouldn't sweep me underneath the rug. I decided to, instead, do a photo campaign and it's what I call a God moment - pledge, picture. Ten minutes later, it was on Facebook."
Wise and other women in the group hope to break a silence surrounding PTSD and to get people talking.
