At the beginning of the protest, Marta Lempart spoke about what the strikes by citizens in Poland had already changed. “Doubt and the thought that we may not achieve anything affect us, but look at what we have done so far,” said the leader of the Women's Strike. “We cancelled their Sejm session three weeks ago. You did that. You cancelled their Sejm session. They convened the Sejm, but they are so weak that we set their agenda because it contained neither Duda's abortion ban nor Ziobro's bill to place pregnant women in centres, nor the government's bill on legalising domestic violence, that is, withdrawing from the Convention [Stambulskiej przyp. red.]. Not only do we cancel their Sejm sessions, but when the Sejm meets, we also set their agenda. Look what happened to the announcement by Ms Przyłębska, which was supposed to be published on 2 November. It still has not been published. In other words, we also decide what appears in the Journal of Laws. And the most important example that it is worthwhile is that this criminal, Kamiński, appears on the Sejm rostrum and tells stories entitled ‘Poles, nothing happened.’ Completely moved, he assures everyone that the government is working, that Parliament is working, and that the president is working. If we are acting like this, there is nothing to worry about. And that is the answer to the question of whether it is worthwhile,” Marta Lempart assured.
The protest proceeded peacefully and was spontaneous. The police did not check the protesters' identities and kept to the sidelines. The protesters thanked the police officers from Lwówek Śląski for their conduct. They also read out thanks to Wojciech Czafurski, the former police chief in Lwówek Śląski.
Addressing the people gathered in the Lwówek market square, the leader of the All-Poland Women's Strike warned them not to let themselves be provoked. However, no one disrupted the protest. Alongside the participants in the Women's Strike, a group of no more than 10 people gathered with banners opposing abortion. They were mostly young men holding signs including one reading “Love, don't kill.” One of them shouted that every woman who has an abortion would go to hell. In response, the women gathered in the square chanted: “My pussy, not Jarus’s!” For a moment, the opponents also exchanged views about faith and differences in worldview.
