Around 300 bare-chested demonstrators paraded in Manhattan following recent bids to get semi-nude models in Times Square banned.
Other protests took place around the United States and in other countries.
The campaigners want women to be given the same rights as men when it comes to being topless in public
Rachel Jessee from NYC's GoTopless group said: 'Freeing nipples and bodies frees minds as well, restoring self-image and self-esteem'.
Bare-chested protesters took to the streets of 60 cities around the world on Sunday as part of a campaign to 'free the nipple'.
One of the biggest events for GoTopless Day was a semi-naked parade through New York City - where officials are debating whether topless tip-seekers should be allowed in Times Square.
Rachel Jessee, an actress and model who leads the GoTopless group in NYC, explained that Sunday's topless campaigners want women to have the same right as men to go topless in public.
'Our goal is for equal gender topless rights to be enforced worldwide, freeing women's nipples,' she said.
