THE ISSUE OF EXCLUSION FROM PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN POLAND

Almost 14 million people in Poland are excluded in terms of transportation. More than one fifth of villages are not served by public transport. - I met kids aged 15-16, who already had their own cars, waiting in the garage for them to get their driving license. I don't know how unusual this behavior is, but a lot of young people are hitch-hiking because otherwise they would have to wait a long time for a bus or skip classes," says Olga Gitkiewicz, author of the book on transport "Nie zdążę".

„Women are left out of the history we learn in schools. I wasn't taught at school, for example about suffragettes, feminism, or actually any female historical figures at all. Instead of it, I was learning about male aggression in defense of the lines drawn on the map. So yes, I think promoting women who had an impact on the social work image is incredibly important.”

„Women in history are forgotten. Even though they have done a lot, it is not much about them. Talking about the contribution of women, makes society treat them and their stories differently.”

„People talk a lot about men and their great inventions, but not much about women and their great inventions. Even if a woman's ideas are good, they are never as good as a man’s ideas.”

„Showing that a woman is not a weak gender is really good. Behind every success of a man there is a woman, and this is a fact. It's time to give women opportunity to be in the spotlight.”

„The more powerful women people know, the more our position grows in the eyes of men”

Why talking about women's achievements is important for other women?
