Not One More
Women in Poland are on strike because their nation feels entitled to discuss—and worse, mandate—their sanity and uteri. Poland has been debating the word ‘abortion’ since 2016 when the first all-Polish women strike, ‘Czarny Protest,’ took place. Even though many innocent women have lost their lives because they were denied medical help, abortion rights continue to be strictly governed in Poland. As a female Polish designer, I am driven to raise awareness of the plight of Polish women on this front. Not One More makes use of illustration to tell the personal story of a young Polish woman who experienced the harassment and trauma of undergoing an abortion in Poland. The style is influenced by old school Polish poster design and adopts the color palette used in the ‘Czarny Protest.’ My intention is to expand Not One More to include stories of other women who have survived what can only be termed a dehumanizing experience, as well as stories of women who did not survive.
