While Poland was among one of the first nations to grant legal rights to women, over the past decade the governing body has been slowly eroding away any progress, undermining sexual and reproductive health rights and criticizing gender nonconformity.
A dark day for Polish women, on October 22 last year the country’s government chose to roll back reproductive rights, imposing a near-total ban on abortions, while its present government has been threatening to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention on prevention and combating of domestic violence.
Naturally, a lot of Polish people are angry. Recent polls suggest social conservatism does not have overwhelming support, with 70% of Poles backing the widespread protests against the abortion ban, while the majority want same-sex relationships to have legal recognition.
