In 2018, protesters took to the streets of Warsaw on International Women’s Day. The head of Niebieska Linia , a national emergency service organization in Poland for victims of domestic violence, Durda doesn’t mince her words when it comes to the current Polish ruling party, Law and Justice .
Thousands of Poles have since protested the ruling, amassing on the streets, joining a women’s strike, or joining online action. PiS leaders, however, have claimed the protests aim to destroy the Polish nation, and have called on PiS members to defend churches against demonstrators. Over the last five years, women have faced increasing attacks to their rights in Poland. This has come in various forms: The government has limited access to contraception, including making emergency contraception no longer available without prescription. The 2019ranked Poland as the worst-performing county in Europe in terms of access to contraception.
“The grist to the mill to them is the declining ratio of live births [in Poland and Europe], the flow of migrants in Europe perceived as a threat to ‘purely Polish’ families, created by a pious mother and the father as head of the family.” Poland’s withdrawal from the Convention is also part of PiS’s clampdown on what they call an “LGBT ideology.” According to PiS, the Convention, which was ratified by the previous centrist government in 2015, poses a danger to religion and Polish tradition. In 2014, Ziobro called it a “feminist invention” designed to “justify gay ideology.”Durda says the Istanbul Convention is necessary.
“In Polish law,” she says, “in order to prove rape, the victim must [prove] that the criminal act was committed with the use of violence, unlawful threat, or deception,” while the Convention defines rape by lack of consent.
Old order, like me, 70? I gave birth to 2 children, cooked in the kitchen, did laundry (who doesn’t!) & worked full time without a man, and never felt that I “had no rights”! Really? Look around, women are in powerful jobs, can pretty much do anything. Oh & so did my mother!
