Women’s rights have recently become the number one issue in Poland. In the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic the Constitutional Tribunal issued a ruling, which effectively limits the right to legal and safe abortion even on the ground of fatal or severe fetal impairment. This decision mobilized many Poles not only to nationwide protests over several weeks, but also to a movement against such an unprecedented power grab. In the result, over 50% of citizens are denied their voice and choice.
With this background in mind, HIA Poland Fellowship 2021 will focus on examining Poland’s challenges with diversity, especially hate speech and hate crime. Moreover, it will offer an opportunity to engage in well-informed activism and ‘doing the right thing’ while learning from the bravest, most determined and most innovative changemakers in Poland. Thus, we invite ALL who dare to be pro-active, who wants to join forces, skills and inspiration in the current vibrant movement for reclaiming human rights culture and equality for all!
