After a week during which mass street protests erupted in Poland against a proposed new law banning abortions, on the 6 October 2016 politicians backtracked on the plans and the parliament voted to reject the law. But, despite the victory for pro-choice campaigners, Poland is still left with some of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe – and further restrictions have been proposed. It seems certain that further restrictions will be proposed – and just as certain that further protests will take place. A further women’s strike has been called for the 24 October 2016 across the whole of Poland, with pro-choice protesters determined to maintain the pressure on the government. |
