The Feminist struggle in Poland
Channel: Barcelona en Comú
Date: 2021-03-18

The Polish Constitutional Court's decision against the right to abortion, which does not even cover the case of the fetus deformation, means a violation of human rights, endangers women’s health and leads them into abortion underground. Polish women have not resigned, though and keep organizing protests all across the country, the largest since the 1980s.

From Barcelona en Comú, we intend to spread these struggles and contribute to building bonds of solidarity for a feminist front for women’s rights, against the extreme right and any kind of inequalities. To do so, we have invited an international panel of top speakers:

- Weronika Śmigielska, Miasto Wspólne
- Mª Eugenia Palop, MEP
- Marta Lempart, Strajk Kobiet
- Almudena Rodríguez, L’Associació de Drets Sexuals i Reproductius
- Terry Reintke, MEP
- Sylwia Spurek, MEP

The event will be moderated by Angelina Kussy, activist and co-coordinator of the International Committee of Barcelona en Comú.

The event will be in English with Spanish translation.
