After the elections in Slovakia, we reflect on democracy in Central Europe. It is a region where courageous individuals play a role in shaping societies amidst growing authoritarian challenges.

Andrea, Polina, and Magdalena are inspiring women activists and civil society figures from Poland, Hungary, and Russia (now living in exile). They will join us for an online discussion to share their experiences of igniting change through engagement and education. Their discussions delve into how ordinary citizens can stand up against oppression and work towards preserving societies.

As Slovaks contemplate the possibility of backlashing after the elections, this discussion sheds light on the struggles faced by the region. It underscores the power of activism and feminist solidarity in safeguarding our freedoms.
