Uitweg (Way Out)

Magda is a young Polish teacher who likes to color within the lines. She's caring, responsible, and has her life perfectly in order. Until she is confronted with an unexpected pregnancy... In conservative, religious Poland, abortion is illegal. The taboo and stigma are so strong that the topic is unspeakable even for friends and family. Magda finds herself on her own. She struggles with her guilt and the many dubious solutions offered by the internet. And meanwhile, the clock is ticking relentlessly...

This graphic novel was made in collaboration with the amazing Abortion Network Amsterdam, Abortion Dream Team and many individual activists all fighting for reproductive justice.
