'This decision is reflective of the political and ideological trend burgeoning within Poland.'
This past week, tens of thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of Warsaw and other Polish cities with the outcry: “fight against the virus, not against women.” The protest follows the Polish government's plans to withdraw from a pan-European convention tackling violence against women. “The aim is to legalize domestic violence,” said Marta Lempart, one of the protest organizers said at a march last Friday.
It was ratified in 2015, a hair before the ultra-conservative Law and Justice Party came to power. Following their election, the PiS party has focused on “rebuilding” the Central European state by dramatically restructuring Polish politics with an emphasis on Roman Catholic “family values.” The conservative party argues that the Istanbul Convention defies these values.
Poland announces it will withdraw from the Istanbul convention, a treaty that protects women against violence, marital rape, and genital mutilation.
