Welcome to the CBOS Podcast where, along with our learned guests, we analyse processes and phenomena in the areas of politics, culture and economics.

The guest of our third instalment is Dr Elżbieta Korolczuk, sociologist, of Stockholm’s Södertörn University and Warsaw University.

We discuss women’s social and political agency, pride in participating in the ‘black protests’, an end to male domination and the new social contract. Analysing the conclusions of the CBOS Polish Women survey, we look at how (lack of) abortion rights and women’s disappointment in politicians as a whole impinge on how women view democracy.
