WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish barber Kinga Rutkowska has struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic but for her, protecting women's rights outweighs financial losses, so she closed her shop on Wednesday to join a national protest against further abortion restrictions.
Rutkowska, 22, is one of thousands who have taken to the streets across Poland for seven consecutive days since the Constitutional Tribunal last week banned the most common of the few legal grounds for abortion in the mostly Catholic country.
