More than 2,000 Polish women rallied in Warsaw on Sunday in support of equal rights and better work opportunities, in a demonstration organized by the country’s leading feminist and lesbian rights groups. Marchers walked through Warsaw’s historic district, calling for attention to the rights “of minorities — religious, sexual, and other types.” Some of the protesters voiced opposition to the country’s conservative government’s plan to create a national educational institute to teach young Poles “patriotism and Christian values.” The rally was planned to coincide with International Women’s Day on Wednesday.
