Poland marked the 10th anniversary of Family Rights Day through a series of national events. The commemorations included a national conference at Oporów Castle titled ‘Family as the Foundation of the Nation and State’, which followed a mass in Kutno.

In the Sejm, various parliamentary teams, including those focused on Catholic Social Teaching and the heritage of Saint John Paul II, held a joint session. During these proceedings, speakers addressed the role of the family as a fundamental social unit. Professor Bogdan Chazan discussed the social and psychological impacts of abortion, describing it as having ‘toxic consequences’ for families and medical personnel. Additionally, a letter from President Karol Nawrocki was read by advisor Beata Kempa, which expressed support for family strength and criticized ideologies perceived as opposing parental authority.
