Feminist March in Warsaw
Related to country: Poland


On Sunday, March 5 in Warsaw the annual 8th feminist march took place. I went with my boyfriend, parents and my group of peer sexual educators Ponton. There were about 2000 people and we walked along the main street of the city, escorted by police. The political climate in Poland is not favourable to feminist and pro-choice views because our president and government is very conservative and catholic. The manifestation was organized not only to stress that women demand equality in the workplace but it was also a sign of opposition against the current authorities who are against women's equality, homosexuality, contraception and abortion. There was a group of ultra-conservative youth who did not follow the manifestation but showed tv teams that they have soap to "wash away dirty thoughts." There was a special moving platform where children of manifestants could play and sing.
