On October 22/2021, the politicized Constitutional Tribunal ruled that abortion due to severe defects of the fetus was incompatible with the Polish Constitution. On the same day, women came to the courthouse to express their indignation. In the following days, protests spread across the country. People protested in the tiniest towns: Sejny, Wetlina, Ząbkowice Śląskie and abroad (in 577 places in total in the world). In Warsaw, the largest demonstration gathered over 100,000 people. Blockades, assemblies, solidarity actions and demonstrations have been taking place in various places in Poland for several months. In addition to pro-abortion slogans, people demand the secular state and the resignation of the government. "Strike" is a visual record of these protests.
