One of the school subjects in Poland is, so called, “Family Life Education”. Its curriculum is being taught to kids from the age of 10, and is a substitute for a proper sex education.
I’ve decided to translate some of the sentences taken from different “Family Life Education” textbooks available in Poland to show what is being communicated as right and wrong to young Polish people.
I made those designs because I want the world to be aware of the fact that #blackprotest wasn’t just about the proposed abortion ban. And that's because the abortion ban bill wasn't just a one-off idea that has appeared completely out of the blue. That idea is an effect of years and years of promotion of certain patriarchal mentality in Polish society.
Those quotes, although they sound hilarious and are quite entertaining to read, are real. I've also used the pictures of my friends and myself (all Polish), taken earlier this year, to make it a little bit more personal.
