Polish Stonewall? Campaign Against Homophobia statement on protests against the politicized arrest of an LGBT activist and brutal police repression
Yesterday’s events in the capital of Poland will forever be remembered by the Polish LGBTQIA movement. Shocking images of police abuse will always stay in our memory. The sense of pride, power and solidarity that we experienced during yesterday’s riots will remain in our hearts. Cannons have been launched against the rainbow and there is no turning back. Yesterday, Friday, August 7, the court issued an outragous verdict: it concurred with the prosecution’s appeal and ordered pre-trial detention for Margot, an activist of the queer Stop Nonsense [Stop Bzdurom] collective, for two months on charges of assaulting and destroying a...Margot Police Protests Statement stonewall Violence -

“I am LGBT – I am human” – you have to see this spot before the election.
Due to Andrzej Duda’s election campaign and conservative politicians saying, “The LGBT community are not people, they are ideologies,” June’s Pride Month turned into a festival of homophobic hatred. That’s the reason the Campaign Against Homophobia (KPH) recorded a spot in only 4 days, in which almost a half a thousand people from the LGBT community showed their face and each and every one of them declared their humanity. Through our spot we want to deal with the dehumanizing myth of a non-existent ideology once and for all, strengthen the LGBT community, and mobilize everyone and anyone to vote in the...Human Ideology LGBT Video -

We are watching you: shameful civic bills sent for further work in the parliamentary commissions.
At the time of the raging epidemic, the authorities at the last moment put on the agenda civic initiative bills extremely restricting access to abortion and to sex education. KPH called for rejection of both bills at first reading. The votes of majority of MPs directed the proposals for further works in the committees and can be proceeded at any time. It is a scandal that during an epidemic the Parliament is pushing forward projects that cause such social resistance. Just by the announcements of its introduction, we can already see the chilling effect of the law that aims to punish...Abortion Law -

KPH’s position on the attack on reproductive rights and the right to reliable sex education.
During the crisis, when hospitals and healthcare workers are overloaded, the government has no control over the situation, people are losing their jobs massively or are at risk of losing those, and entrepreneurs lose their sources of income, there is no space for a reliable public debate on topics related to human and reproductive rights. Shameful draft bills in the Polish Parliament On April 15th and 16th, 2020, the Parliament will debate on shameful, objectionable citizens’ initiative draft bills regarding – among others – restrictions on the right to abortion and access to reliable sex education. KPH opposes these two...Abortion reproductive rights sex education Statement -
