2020 Polish National Strike

Preface

Flag of the National Strike.

In late October, the Polish Supreme Court ruled that abortion was unconstitutional and so would be outlawed in most cases. This decision was made under the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party. The new laws passed determine that abortions will only be allowed for pregnancies resulting from rape, incest and or when a woman’s life is at risk.

Protests

Protests began almost immediately after, with hundreds of thousands of feminists taking to the streets following the judicial announcement.

Protests.media has increased publishing of articles from ~2-3 articles per day to ~5-6 articles per day. It is increasingly time-consuming to do so, and donations would be very appreciated. We run no advertising and have no sponsors, and are therefore entirely funded by our readers.
