About us
Who are we?
We are an independent, non-profit group operating in the Czech Republic. We believe that every person has the right to decide on their life and what happens to their body. Therefore, we are committed to supporting people in Poland who wish to terminate their pregnancy.
We were formed spontaneously in October 2020 in response to the Constitutional Court’s ruling. For the first month, we gathered information and prepared for action. Since the end of November 2020, we have been providing support regularly. Our group consists of about a dozen people engaged in various activities, and we also have a large community of volunteers. We are all volunteers, dedicating our free time to helping those experiencing unwanted pregnancies. We also work, study, and lead normal lives.
How do we work?
If you would like to contact us, please email: ciocia_czesia@protonmail.com. Facebook and Instagram are not safe platforms for communicating about abortion. We respond to emails Monday through Friday, with weekends off. During the week, we usually respond within 24 hours.
If you email us, one of the Aunties will respond, and unless something unexpected happens, you’ll communicate with that one person at all times. We don’t share our names or any other information; we’re all Auntie Czesia.
