Gender equality - Wikipedia. A generic symbol for gender equality Gender equality, also known as sex equality, gender egalitarianism, sexual equality, or equality of the genders, is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on their gender.[1] This is one of the objectives of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which seeks to create equality in law and in social situations, such as in democratic activities and securing equal pay for equal work.[2] In practice, the objective of gender equality is for people to acquire, if they so choose, equal treatment throughout a society, not just in politics, the workplace, or any other policy-designated sphere.

Polish Women Protest New Abortion Law - Human Rights Brief Human Rights Brief. Poland’s newly proposed abortion law has tens of thousands of Polish women fearful for the protection of their rights and lives.
This has motivated over seven million women in Poland, all dressed in black, to go on strike. As a devoutly Catholic country, Poland is already one of Europe’s most restrictive countries when it comes to abortion. It will become even more restrictive by completely criminalizing abortion. While government officials are trying to push this law forward, Polish women are raising their voices and causing cities like Warsaw to go into lockdown. Looking deeper into the newly proposed law, one begins to understand the severity of its restrictiveness. Despite its religiosity, Poland is required by its constitution to protect its citizens’ quality of life without trampling on their personal freedoms. While this wave of protests is recent, Poland has had several abortion cases make their way to the European Court of Human Rights. Polish women on the ‘Black Monday’ abortion ban protest. Thousands of women marched through the streets of Poland yesterday, organising a mass strike to protest the plans for a total ban on abortion.
Abortion is already restricted in Poland from a law created in 1993, with some of the most imposing laws around reproductive rights, but a new policy change would ban it altogether – affecting rape survivors, young children and adolescents and those with cases of fatal fetal abnormalities, who would be forced to carry a pregnancy full term.

Thousands Of Polish Women Stage Strike In Protest Of Proposed Abortion Ban. This week thousands of Polish women took to the streets to protest a truly awful new proposal that would make abortions completely illegal.
Massive crowds gathered in pro-choice marches across the country, wearing black and holding infuriatingly on point placards in what was dubbed the "Black Monday" protest. The nation-wide strike saw protestors flood the streets of Warsaw, as well as Gdansk, Lodz, Wroclaw, Krakow and elsewhere around Poland and Europe. These women were expressing outrage over a proposal that would totally ban abortions, which has passed one parliamentary check-point so far. Poland already has extremely strict abortion laws that were established in 1993 and make teminations illegal except in cases where the woman's life is in danger, the foetus is irreparably damaged or the pregnancy results from rape or incest.
The new proposal would see an all out ban on abortions even in cases of rape or when a woman's life is at risk. Petra Collins. Wgsn. Models. Stella McCartney Pop.

Malala Yousafzai’s “I Am Malala” If anyone knows the power of words, it’s Malala Yousafzai. Nominated for a second time this year as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, you’ve most likely heard of the fearless girl who took a bullet for women everywhere while defending her rights to attend school. But you might not have known Malala has been an advocate on the international stage since age 11, putting the spotlight on girls and women amidst the longest, most exhaustive war in our history. Penning her memoir at only 16, I Am Malala, opens with the day she was shot in the head by a member of the Taliban, an Islamic extremist group, who targeted her for spreading secular beliefs.
