Co-ed Revolutionary Anarchist Liberation Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Koedukacyjna Unia Rewolucyjno-Wyzwoleńczo-Anarchistyczna ("co-ed revolutionary anarchist liberation union") is a radical Polish anarcho-feminist group, existing since 2000. It is one of the two anarcho-feminist organizations in Poland admitting male members.
According to its official website, the main aims of the group are:
- exposing and fighting against gender stereotypes,
- combating homophobia,
- sexual freedom,
- liberation from the slavery of everyday life.
The group is strongly anti-capitalist, anti-Catholic, and anti-hierarchical, and propagates a libertarian socialist society. It publishes its own bulletin, runs a shop in Warsaw, and organizes instruction camps (in Wiżajny and Krynki) and queer parties (aiming to abolish division both between sexes and between sexual orientations). It is also a member of Komitet STER, an organization fighting for abolition of restrictions on performing abortions. In 2001, together with the minister Ryszard Kalisz from SLD, it organized a campaign for widening the scope of sex education.
The acronym 'KURWA' is a play on words, fitting with the group's radical politics of feminism and sexual liberation. It means 'whore' in Polish slang (it is an analogue of the English vulgarism 'fuck').
