Abortion Dream Team: On March 8, we opened the first abortion clinic in Poland – ABOTAK. Every day, we help women, but from the very beginning, we've been facing aggressive attacks from fanatics.

Shouting, vuvuzelas held up to pedestrians’ ears, wailing sirens exceeding 120 decibels – noise like that of a jackhammer. Elderly people are afraid to leave their homes, parents can’t put their children to sleep, and residents are being denied their right to peace on weekends and holidays.

Now things have escalated even further. A few days ago, someone poured butyric acid at the entrance to our facility – a substance not only foul-smelling but also dangerous to health. Our financial losses amount to several thousand złoty, but Polish taxpayers bore even higher costs for the disposal of the acid and fire department assistance. Meanwhile, the city and police have yet to respond decisively to this vandalism and aggression. Look what they did to us.

And all of this is happening at Wiejska 9 – just 10 steps away from the Parliament and the Presidential Chancellery.

Do we really have to wait until someone gets hurt?

Will the Warsaw authorities and the Polish police finally take action?

Can the Civic Coalition’s presidential candidate, who promises to legalize abortion, ensure safety in his own city?

Let’s not allow this to continue! Help us bring attention to these attacks and pressure the authorities to respond!

Sign aur appeal "STOP HARRASING WOMEN":

We cannot be intimidated. ABOTAK is staying and needs your support!

Thank you that we can count on you!

Africa: 'What's Next?' Women-Led Movements Fear for the Future: [UN News] Women rights advocates gathered at UN Headquarters for the world's biggest meeting on gender equality have been sharing their concerns about the growing backlash against feminism, and how major funding cuts from donor countries could threaten programmes aimed at improving the lives of women and girls. newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJTB #GenderEquality #WomenRights #Feminism #WomenEmpowerment #UNWomen

Seit meiner Jugend kämpfe ich zusammen mit so vielen Schwestern um all die Dinge, um die ein Mensch in einer Demokratie, in einer anständigen Welt, nicht kämpfen müssen sollte: gleiche Rechte, Unversehrtheit, Freiheit...
Ob wir was erreicht haben? Sicher. Ob wir genug erreicht haben? Absolut nicht!
Im Gegenteil: Wir sind die Hälfte der Welt, aber für uns dreht sie sich eher wieder rückwärts... ♀️

Join The Palestine Block At The 8M Feminist March

JOIN THE PALESTINE BLOCK ‼️

We can’t talk feminism without mentioning the women of Palestine.

For 77 years, Palestinian women have carried and planted the seeds of liberation, resistance, and preservation. In all those years until now, they have faced oppression, Zionist aggression, and hegemony.

As feminists, we are committed to achieving Palestinian social and political liberation by confronting systemic gendered, sexual, and colonial violence, oppression, and dispossession.

📆 MARCH 8 / 12:30

Against a western, bourgeois and essentialist feminism overrepresented in the media, ignoring, because of its privileges, the experiences of gender minorities, of racialized people, of precarious people, of minorities ;

Against the instrumentalization of our struggles for racist, islamophobic, imperialist and transphobic purposes ;

Against the installation of fascism in the Belgian government with the Arizona coalition, and the multiplication of far-right regimes across the: world ;

We will keep on organising collectively !

LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STREETS ON THE

8th OF MARCH TO MARK THE

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FOR

THE RIGHT OF WOMXN

AND ALL GENDER MINORITIES

The material, financial and human resources of the police are increasing, and along with them, ( its repressive power. The first people to be affected are racialized people, gender minorities, homeless people, undocumented people, people with disabilities, underprivileged people, queer people, sex workers, inmates.

The systematic use of prison logics leads to the increase of prison capacities, the construction of new detention buildings, and the collaboration with prisons abroad to deport people without residence permits.

The attack on social rights that were hardly fought for, such as unemployment benefits, retirement allowance, survivor's pension, access to healthcare, to education, to housing, leads to extreme precariousness.

We're fighting for a liberation at the crossroads of all struggles, and we are, therefore, internationalists by essence.

We reaffirm the importance of a total support towards all forms of resistance. Struggles and victories here and elsewhere are advances for all of us.

We stand in solidarity with all the peoples in resistance ; in Kanaky, Hawai'i, Ayiti, Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Rojava, Tibet, Balochistan ;

with the Kel Tamajeq, the Uyghurs and the Rohingyas peoples ;

with all native peoples and nomadic peoples ; with all those organizing against the incompletion of colonial and imperialist logics.

We, revolutionary feminists, call for a response.

An anti-imperialist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, anti-carceralist, anti-psychiatric and anti-colonial response.

JOIN THE BRIF BLOC !

MEET US ON 08/03 - 2pm

In West Hollywood, a #trans woman was attacked by a transphobic #amazon driver. She filmed it.

West Hollywood sheriffs arrived and arrested her (the trans woman) instead. She is being held on $30,000 bail for a misdemeanor.

10 hours ago, they transferred her to a male prison, SoCal advocates currently working on her release. The sheriff recorded her under a name other than her legal name, so until the sheriff adjust their paperwork, she will be held there.

This is what it's like to be Trans, even in one of the so called most supportive states.

@panoptykon Konto organizacji Women Help Women (@womenhelporg) spadło na około miesiąc. To organizacja, która zapewnia pocztowy dostęp do tabletek w kilku krajach i profil był jeden wspólny, ale szło na nim dużo treści po polsku. Organizacje amerykańskie wysyłające tabletki i właśnie WHW, połączyły siły i jakoś tę Metę przegadały, ale wiemy że przywrócenie konta wcale nie oznacza, że będzie ono miało zasięgi. Teraz WHW utworzyło profile regionalne dla wszystkich krajów, w których świadczy pomoc.

Z naszego doświadczenia wynika, że spadają treści, albo są drastycznie ograniczane zasięgi, postów, które bezpośrednio dotyczą tabletek aborcyjnych (pod pretekstem obrotu nielegalnymi substancjami). W naszym przypadku nałożono shadow bana na post z instrukcją zamawiania leków, gdy się odwołałyśmy został usunięty całkowicie. Załączamy wspomniany filmik.

Dlatego my staramy się rozwijać kontakt z naszą grupą odbiorczą poza korpo-socialami, właśnie przez:
- wrzucanie treści na mastodona, również tych wyniesionych z fb i insta innych niż nasz profili aborcyjnych
- aktualizowanie strony maszwybor.net/blog/
- nasze forum maszwybor.net/ działa od 2006 r. niezależnie od łaski i niełaski big techów
- pracujemy również nad mailingiem

Dziękujemy, że zwracacie uwagę na ten temat! <3

Feminist March

Feminist March (bron)

Nu, meer dan ooit, hebben we een Feminist March nodig. Over de hele wereld mobiliseren feministische bewegingen zich om weerstand te bieden aan de groeiende tegenreactie op onze rechten. Deze mars is niet van één organisatie—het is een collectieve ruimte, gefaciliteerd door feministische organisaties en activisten, waarin de bredere feministische beweging in Nederland samenkomt, actie onderneemt en haar stem laat horen.

Op 8 maart 2025 gaan we de straat op in Amsterdam om luid en duidelijk van ons te laten horen. In aanloop naar de mars werken we gezamenlijk aan een krachtige, inclusieve en impactvolle demonstratie.

Wie wij zijn

De Feminist March wordt gefaciliteerd door een coalitie van feministische organisaties grassroots activisten, waaronder: ActionAid, Amnesty International NL, Annemieke van Straalen, Atria, Bureau Clara Wichmann, Devika Partiman, FNV, Hivos, Imane Nadif, Oxfam Novib, WOMEN Inc., PAX, Rajae Liesfi, WO=MEN, Srushti Mahamuni, Linda al Sharif, Egality Foundation, Feminist Club Amsterdam, Ellen Biner, DeGoedeZaak, Pinay sa Holland GABRIELA, Vrouwenrechtswinkel Amsterdam, Dolle Mina, Mayra Salazar Volkmann, Mayra Salazar Volkmann, WECF, Suzy Wong, Ingelise de Jongste, Feministas en Holanda, Susan Sarehraz – Committee to Support the Struggle of the Labors & Toilers, Rosita – Vrouw & Vaart en Ula-Mae Poll.

Deze lijst blijft groeien naarmate het proces vordert. We organiseren een workshop waarin feministische activisten en groepen kunnen meedenken over het podiumprogramma en hoe we samen de mars zo groot en succesvol mogelijk kunnen maken.

Wil jij of jouw organisatie bijdragen? Vind je dat jouw stem deel moet uitmaken van dit proces? Neem contact met ons op via info@feministmarch2025.nl, dan zorgen we dat je een uitnodiging ontvangt voor de workshop op 11 februari in Amsterdam.
