Poland’s main opposition group, the centrist Civic Coalition (KO), has launched a campaign to promote its female candidates and mobilise women to vote in next month’s parliamentary elections. The drive comes as new data show that a record 44% of all candidates in the elections will be women, up from 23% in 2007. KO is above that average, with 48% of its candidates being women, after leader Donald Tusk promised that there would be gender parity on its electoral lists.

Poland’s health minister, Adam Niedzielski, has announced the creation of a special team to help ensure that pregnant women receive appropriate medical care, including abortions if their health is endangered. His decision follows the latest death of a pregnant woman in hospital. As in some previous cases, the woman’s family and activists have blamed Poland’s near-total abortion ban for the tragedy. But officials say it was a case of medical malpractice.

Poland’s Catholic church is providing every parish in the country with posters explaining how people can report cases of sex abuse as well as presenting the rights of victims and the types of support that are offered to them. The materials, part of a campaign launched by the Polish episcopate, are intended to present “in an accessible way” the church’s system for “extending support and necessary help to victims”.

In 65% of those cases, the journalists said that the harassment came from someone in a more senior position. Only 18% who suffered harassment said they have reported such cases to their superiors and 30% decided to leave a job as a result of the harassment.

A woman’s rights activist has been convicted of the crime of “helping terminate a pregnancy” by sending self-administered abortion pills to a pregnant woman, whose husband discovered them and reported the case to police. Her trial, which began a year ago, has drawn international attention, with human rights groups and members of the European Parliament criticising the Polish authorities for pursuing prosecution.
