<CENTER><EM>This petition was launched on our YouMove platform by the Polish
Women’s Strike. We think it may interest you.</EM></CENTER>
<P> </P>
<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>Abortion ban. Punishing sexual education. Restrictions on
divorces.</STRONG> This and many more similar moves have already been
implemented or discussed in Poland. <STRONG>Can this become reality in other
European countries too?</STRONG></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>One fundamentalist Catholic group, disguised as a think-tank,
stands behind all these proposals.</STRONG> It is called <EM>Ordo Iuris</EM> and
it produces draft bills and lobbies governments. <STRONG>Now</STRONG>
<STRONG>its founder is running for a judge in the European Court of Human
Rights</STRONG> (ECHR). [1] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>This court is a place where everyone of us can seek justice if our
country fails to protect our human rights. More than 6,500 people have done so
in the last year alone. [2] <STRONG>But with a fundamentalist judge, the chances
will shrink for a ruling in favour of our rights.</STRONG></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>On 9 April, the candidates for ECHR judges will be interviewed
and approved.</STRONG> The committee responsible for the decision consists of
politicians. If we demonstrate to them that this man is a threat to human
rights, they will likely reject him.</BIG></P>

<P><BIG><EM>Ordo Iuris</EM> is already present in Croatia, Lithuania, Estonia,
Spain, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands. <STRONG>Gaining a
place in the ECHR is part of a long term plan to act at the European level, in
order to implement a fundamentalist religious agenda.</STRONG></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>For most people, being religious means being kind to their
neighbour. But not for <EM>Ordo Iuris</EM>.</STRONG> Within the Catholic
community, this small minority group takes religion to extremes that negate all
that kindness and cause many people, especially women, to suffer.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG><EM>Ordo Iuris</EM> lawyers in Poland have drafted bills to ban
and penalise abortions, to criminalise sexual education and to restrict in-vitro
fertilisation.</STRONG> They also produced a template charter text that was
adopted by local governments that created Poland’s infamous “LGBT-free zones”.
Recently, they even started discussing restrictions or a ban on divorce.
[3]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>But Poland is not enough, and now, their aim is Europe.</STRONG>
We have shown numerous times that human rights, women’s rights, and minorities
rights are at the core of what our community fights for. Together, we are in the
right place to prevent people who systematically plot how to dismantle our
rights from taking over our courts and institutions.</BIG></P>
