People who criticize the fenomena are being harassed and that is why many people restrain from opposing it in the public debate. This essay intends to lift the voices criticizing the existence of baby boxes, as well as introducing arguments of those in favor of the fenomena. By exploring the chosen actors polarised views on the fenomena, the essay aims to illustrate the wide complexity of its existence. It also aims to examine whether the arguments that reemerge in the debate can be understood as different master suppression techniques that are being used to subordinate Polish women. (Less)
