2020–2021 women's strike protests in Poland
social protests in 2020
(Redirected from October 2020 Polish protests)
The October 2020 Polish protests began in Poland on 22 October 2020 over the rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal illegalizing abortions. The country banned abortions even if there are cases of severe disability or incurable and life-threatening disease of the unborn child.[1]
Mass protests began shortly after the rulings the afternoon of the same day.[2] It is the biggest protest in the country since the fall of communism in 1989.[3][4]
