Today is International Women's Day. And so, today I'm not going to speak my voice, but amplify the voices of others'.
Recently, abortion was made almost illegal in Poland, my home country. Hundreds of thousands of women and men came out to protest, but the law came into effect. Women's rights are being trampled and we're doing hardcore backward progress here.
Please, if you can, show support to us, trying to fight for basic rights in a country that calls itself modern. Here's a bit more context about the protest. 74% of people in our country do not support the ban. But our autocratic government has different plans.
You can share using the hashtag #OgolnopolskiStrajkKobiet (Polish women's strike) and share the red lightning symbol.
Thank you.
P.S. Here's a great article from The Guardian about women who changed the world in 2020.
