Abortion rights and repression in Poland - a podcast by Amy McMurtrie, Anya Saravanan, Ayan Shirwa, Emma Hart, and Iris Lee

Earlier this year the US Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade, the 1973 ruling which protected abortion rights across the US, unleashing a wave of repressive measures against abortion rights in conservative American states and increasing public and political focus on this area.This week on the program, we look beyond the USA to the situation for abortion rights in Poland.We speak with Alex from Szpila Collective, an anarcha-feminist anti-repression collective based in Warsaw, working to support activists or other people who face repression because of their political activity in Poland.To support the work of Szpila Collective by making a donation you can also reach them at:Szpila FacebookSzpila Twitterszpila (at) riseup (dot) netListeners should be aware that this episode contains discusison of domestic violence.
