Poles take to the streets of Warsaw on International Women's Day to demand free access to contraceptives. Although pro-Western parties managed to oust the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) government in October 2023 elections, women are voicing anger and frustration over delays in changing the laws on women's reproductive rights.
