The Polish government has recently introduced a new law that effectively outlaws abortion in the country.
Despite several weeks of mass protests the law has been approved by the Constitutional Tribunal, delivering a huge blow to women’s rights  in Poland.

The Polish Naprzód foundation and transform! Europe are organising an online event, on March 4, in the run up to International Women’s Day. At
the meeting, activists from Poland will be joined by those from Ireland and Argentina which have been successful in defeating anti-abortion
legislation and winning the right for women to choose.

The Naprzód foundation and transform! Europe invite you to participate in this meeting. It is very important that participants from other Central and Eastern European
countries participate in this event to help build solidarity in the region with the fight of Polish women.
