Reproductive Rights

In October 2020, a Polish tribunal ruled to further curtail one of Europe’s strictest abortion laws.

If progressives want to fight the movement against so-called ‘gender ideology’, they need to break with neoliberalism.

Thanks to energetic grassroots campaigning and a steady shift in social attitudes, women in Ireland have finally won the right to choose whether to have child or not.

Feminist and Green activist Aleksandra Kołeczek argues that to successfully challenge the Law and Justice Party’s grip on power, political opposition in Poland must develop an alternative vision and a fresh strategy.

A broad coalition seems to be gathering pace in Ireland, and extending far beyond the country’s borders, calling for a reform of Ireland’s abortion laws – the most stringent in Europe. A courageous campaign combined with a shift in public attitudes could mean real change is finally on the horizon.
