Big and happy news out of #Poland yesterday: Patients' Rights Ombudsman decision states clearly that threats to mental health are grounds for legal #abortion.
This is a huge win for the health & rights of people in #Poland and for @federapl.

2/ In #Poland, where legal abortion is virtually banned & near impossible to access, this puts pressure on drs & hospitals to recognize mental health risks of continuing pregnancy, lays groundwork for ppl to fight for right to legal #abortion. Background: hrw.org/news/2021/10/1… Image
3/ In ongoing research by @hrw in #Poland, drs, psychiatrists, & activists told us that ppl showing clear mental health risks due to a pregnancy often struggled to access #abortion bc the law lacks clarity about what constitute "risks to life or health". Image
4/ It's important, but just 1 step: "Forcing women to see a psychiatrist so that they can decide about their bodies & futures is an anachronism. But we have to manage somehow & use what little law we have left." @federapl
Solidarity w #Poland women, activists: we'll keep fighting Image

THREAD: Instead of working to protect women & girls during the #COVID19 pandemic, #Hungary has just rushed through a vote to withdraw from a groundbreaking European treaty to combat violence against women. #IstanbulConvention. hungarytoday.hu/govt-rejects-r…
#Hungary's Christian Democratic Party introduced the bill only last night, on the grounds that the #IstanbulConvention's protections of #migrants and #refugees contradict national policy, and that it promotes so-called "gender ideology." voiceofeurope.com/2020/05/hungar…
Such misinformation has been used to advance homophobic, anti-migrant & anti-women's rights agendas elsewhere in the region. Misrepresentation of efforts towards gender equality has provoked dangerous attacks on women's & #LGBT rights in #Poland. See @hrw hrw.org/news/2019/02/0…

THREAD: 1/5 I met a group of ~10 women from #Somalia, most who travelled to #Greece alone. They’ve been sleeping outside on the ground for up to a week in #Moria camp on #Lesvos island. Single women should be given space in an enclosed section, but they are told it is full. @hrw
2/5 They have been given only thin mats to sleep on, and sleeping bags - single women don’t get tents since they are supposed to be inside the section for women alone. But #Moria is so overcrowded that people needing special protection aren’t getting it. So they sleep on this:
3/5 This woman has a problem with her kidneys and needs to go to the hospital for dialysis 3x a week. She sleeps on the ground between metal bars meant to contain lines of people. “We heard sometimes [an NGO] takes some women & puts them in tents but our turn hasn’t come.”
