WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE POLAND - news journal UPDATE - (en) Poland, FA: On sisterhood and other women's matters. (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation

 The Anarchist Women's Congress in Wroclaw was a major event for us. We began planning it in the fall of 2025 and worked for many weeks to ensure its success. It was the first such a massive event dedicated to women in a long time, and we are extremely pleased to officially call it a success. The meeting was organized on February 21, 2026, in Wroclaw by the Federation of Anarchist Women's Community and several individuals from outside this organization.

Throughout the day, we had the opportunity to meet, talk, and exchange experiences with dozens of women from all over Poland. We estimate that around 60 people attended this event from at least seven cities: Wroclaw, Katowice, Poznan, Warsaw, Kielce, Bielsko-Biala, and Lublin. Together, we listened to numerous lectures and panels, including: We discussed women in anarchism, revolution, and queerness from a Polish and feminist perspective, the growing conservative and right-wing anti-women sentiment across Europe, and the situation of the feminist revolution in Rojava. Lengthy discussions took place about what changes we would like to see in the anarchist movement and in our country's society, how we can organize, what individual organizations in different cities are struggling with, what we face on a daily basis, and what topics we shy away from or are afraid to discuss. All the statements were translated into English thanks to the help of the indispensable Klekta group! Several stands with books, zines, soaps, and many artistic items appeared. We also managed to agree on another convention next year and even selected a city for it! After the theoretical part, a demonstration was organized, "Enough with the power of billionaires," against the exploitation of children, women, and the planet by the wealthiest segment of society. Although the preparations took a lot of time and effort, we believe it was a worthwhile effort. As organizers, we are very grateful to everyone who participated in the Congress. This initiative showed us that it's worth developing women's initiatives and creating spaces for women. We hope that, moving forward, we'll have more of us at future congresses and meetings!
We are working on a longer report from the entire Congress and individual lectures. Some of these were recorded, and we will try to edit and publish these videos for those who couldn't make it to Wroclaw.
