prices and distinctions

The "Simone de Beauvoir" price

the "national order of merith"

This distinction is given to great people in Poland who have an impotant role in the developpement, the history of the country. It's like the "légion d'honneur" but in Poland

It's a price who's given to women who are symbol of fight for gender equality and those who are iconeof women's empowerment

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
