In Katowice, Poland, on December 12, 2025, Krzysztof Labadz of WZZ August '80 and Karol Granatyr, Chairman of the National Commission of the WZZ 'August 80' Coal Mine, participate in a miners' protest in front of the Ministry of Energy. The protest responds to the deteriorating financial condition of Jastrzebska Spolka Weglowa (JSW). The National Commission of the WZZ 'August 80' organizes the protest to address the actions of JSW. The miners raise concerns about the reduction in the payment of the Miner's Day allowance and the risk of further cuts in employee benefits. They state that JSW is in a difficult situation and its current actions are delayed and do not solve the problem. The protesters meet with Undersecretary of State Marian Zmarzly, who receives their list of demands. The Senate approves the government's proposed amendment to the Mining Act, which allows for the gradual phasing out of mines extracting hard coal other than coking coal, as well as protective aid and severance payments. The act has not yet been signed by the president.

A young woman holds a placard reading 'I'm 15 yo and I've already filled a complaint.' Women from the collective NousToustes and other organizations such as SUD or Amnesty International organize a nationwide march in France against feminicides, sexual and sexist violence, and patriarchy. Several thousand people, women and men, take to the streets for this day. They demand more resources from the French government to protect women beaten, injured, or killed by their partners. They say that 65% of killed women come to the police to make a complaint, but police classify the complaints. They also ask the police to have better training to pay attention to these complaints. Feminist organizations demand at least EUR2.6 billion per year as necessary to tackle violence against women. In 2023, more than 270,000 women are victims of violence by their partners. This event takes place in Toulouse, France, on November 22, 2025.
