The president's daughter's picture causes intense debate, so why

Aliya Shagieva posted this photo on the social media in April with the sentence: I will feed my child everywhere and whenever he is hungry.

She removed this post after being charged with immoral conduct, but in an exclusive interview with the BBC, she said the debate came because of a culture that has hypersexualized the female figure.

This body is not vulgar. It is functional and its goal is to meet the child's physical needs, not to sexualise”, Aliya told the BBC.

It was not just the users on social networks who disagreed. Her parents, President Almazbek Atambayev and his wife Raisa, were also dissatisfied with the action of her daughter. They didn't like it at all. And it's understandable because the new generation is later conservative than their parents”, she said further, speaking out of the house on the outskirts of the capital, Bishkek.

Shagieva actively posts social networking, including her artistic works and portraits of herself, husband and child. Kyrgyzstan is a mostly Muslim country, where society is conservative, yet breastfeeding is acceptable. Women can be seen in parks or other places feeding their child, but they usually try to cover their breasts with a piece.
