Kaja Godek is a Polish ultra-conservative[2][3] activist and leader of the foundation Życie i Rodzina ("life and family"). She proposed a law to ban the abortion of fetuses with birth defects or high probability thereof (Stop aborcji) in 2013[1] and a law to ban LGBT marches (Stop LGBT) in 2021.[4]
The anti-abortion proposal did not pass the first parliamentary reading[5] while the anti-LGBT proposal did and is to be worked on by parliamentary committees.[6] Presenting her anti-LGBT project in the lower house of Poland's parliament (the Sejm), Godek claimed that LGBT activists pay children to attend their parades.[7]
In 2016, she registered the Życie i Rodzina foundation.[1] YouTube blocked the account of said foundation in 2019 for inciting hate.[8] In 2019, Godek ran for the European Parliament for the far-right Confederation Liberty and Independence, but failed to obtain a seat.[9][10]
