Justyna Wydrzyńska, an abortion activist in Poland, is facing court after being found guilty of providing assistance to a woman seeking an abortion. Justyna is part of Abortion Dream Team – a grassroots initiative that’s normalising abortion and supporting women across Poland. Their media guidelines for reporting on abortion inspired Level Up’s intervention for Britain.
The guilty verdict criminalises compassion – it’s deeply chilling. Abortion activists and campaigners across Europe are increasingly facing prosecution for helping people in need.
It’s crucial that Justyna knows the public are on her side – please send a message of support, and we will pass these on to her legal team.
