The Polish National Hybrid Run of Support for Afghan Lawyers

On Saturday, November 13th (the International Day of Kindness), judges from the Polish Judges Association “IUSTITIA” and prosecutors from Prosecutors’ Association Lex Super Omnia started their unique action: the Polish National Hybrid Run of Support for Afghan Lawyers. During the campaign – lasting until November 28th (a day commemorating the acquisition of voting rights by women in Poland) – judges, prosecutors and active citizens take part in organized or individual races to support Afghan lawyers and their families already in Poland. To take part in the race, you must register and pay the registration fee. Half of the fee goes to the fund for assistance to Afghan lawyers specially created for this purpose by the Association of Polish Judges IUSTITIA. In return, the participants of the race receive a T-shirt specially designed for this event, a commemorative medal and a starting number. As part of the campaign, the participant is obliged to cover a minimum of 3 kilometers of the route during a joint run organized in many places in Poland or in individual time. Participants are allowed to choose whether they want to run, march, nordic-walking or just walk the distance. At the time of the opening of the campaign, 400 participants had already been registered, many of whom took part in the opening runs organized in Warsaw, Cracow, Wrocław, Gdynia, Koszalin, Olsztyn, Przemyśl and Ożarów. Running events are organized in the following days also in other cities (here below a map of events already planned). On November 28, 2021, the grand finale of the action is planned. The money collected in this way is intended for housing and in-kind assistance for Afghan lawyers.
