During the discussion, the speakers presented a number of initiatives that have recently been taken in various regions of the world to defend the family and life.

“We cannot ignore the violations of the rights of certain groups of people, in the hope that our own right to life, dignity, freedom of speech or freedom of religious expression will not be violated soon after. The violation of one of these freedoms is a violation of the entirety of freedom, because it is indivisible. Therefore, those who want to protect and promote human rights and freedoms must protect and promote each of them”, indicated Weronika Przebierała, Director of the Ordo Iuris Center for International Law.
