Uitweg (‘exit’ or ‘way out’ in English) tells the story of Magda, an elementary school teacher in Warsaw who finds herself dealing with an unwanted pregnancy. The Catholic conservative Polish society and norms combined with the restrictive laws against abortion leave Magda in a tight spot…

It’s a book about the importance of reproductive justice, in Poland and outside of it. Especially in these turbulent times the rights of women and pregnant people should be embraced, fought for, and not forgotten.

‘Uitweg’ is published by the wonderful Oogachtend and is being translated into more languages (soon to be announced).
