– I accept the ten honor that go shopping, that they do, what we do in the Warsaw Uprising, and also my friends, all those who died. I want the article to start with my own writing about what we fought for and what is for every Siem user, and I know because I live a long time – said the laureate. She emphasized that the Warsaw Uprising would be an uprising of human dignity and that “there would be no more ideas such as fascism and communism.”
He also refers to the high-profile case of the death of a 30-year-old pregnant Izabela in a hospital in Pszczyna. – I know what the role of every mother is. That is why I want to say that what is now in Poland, what happened so recently that a young mother had to die, is a crime committed against a woman. Because others will also die, if this one will be higher by the constitutional current through Juliłęska, it will continue to exacerbate – she said.
– A woman has the same right as a man. Test yourself in the constitution – she emphasized.
– Mine in the uprising, women, 31. We received the same rights as men by order. Before this order, we were written as “civilians”, although we were soldiers, just like me, and had military ranks and decorations. And the Germans, our enemies, respected that we have rights with men and that we have a slave, complied with it. We were just like men. And now, in free Poland, because in free Poland, where is the Constitution and where the law works, through its most fashionable lawyers, now we were taken away to – to direct us, whether additional mothers or not – to be directly.
I added: – Everyone has the same rights. Whether he is a woman or is he a man. I am calling to you, women: to fight for your rights relentlessly. Since he was addicted to our nation. Because if there is a respected woman and sure that her rights are you want and no one wants to take her away, she will definitely want to be a mother, because every woman in the institute wants to be a poppy.
