Women’s dance in Senate against violence
15:23
About 20 women, including MPs, danced on Friday in the Senate corridor against violence as part of the “One Billion Rising” campaign. In this way, women demanded a change in the definition of rape in Polish law.
The action took place on Valentine's Day around the world. Every year the organizer of the campaign in Poland – Feminoteka Foundation – chooses the theme of the action.
This year's slogan in 2020 is: “YES only means consent. Sex without consent is rape.” Event organizers in Poland are demanding a change in the definition of rape in Polish law.
As Senate Deputy Marshal Gabriela Morawska-Stanecka explained, the name "One Billion Rising" is associated with one billion women in the world who experience violence.
“Every year, on Valentine's Day, women oppose violence through dance,” she said.
