Today marks four years since Poland’s near-total abortion ban. In December 2023, the European Court of Human Rights ruled the ban violated the right to private and family life.
Join us for the first seminar on the situation of intersex persons in Poland and around the world. We’ll bring together scholars and human rights advocates to explore the global and local realities of intersex persons.
The countdown is on for our seminar "The Situation of Intersex Persons in Poland and the World". We will have discussions in both Polish and English, with translations available, so everyone can fully participate. Here are the profiles of our speakers.
See you soon!
