The petition includes demands to put a stop to vulgar and sexist language, to eliminate sexual harassment, and to provide full access to family planning.

Further demonstrations were planned for Monday. Earlier this month, Polish deputies threw out a controversial citizens’ bill to ban abortion that triggered earlier street protests and criticism in the European Parliament. (ek/rg)
