Agnieszka Ewa Dziemianowicz-Bąk[1] [aɡˈɲɛʂka d͡ʑɛmjaˈnɔvit͡ʂ bɔŋk] ⓘ (born 20 January 1984) is a Polish left-wing social activist and politician who has served as the Minister of Family, Labour and Social Policy since 2023. She has been a member of the Sejm since 2019.[2]

Political career

Between December 2015 and February 2019, Dziemianowicz-Bąk was a member of the National Board of the Razem (Together) party.[3] She represented Razem in the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) pan-European organisation.[4]

In 2016, Foreign Policy magazine included Dziemianowicz-Bąk, together with Barbara Nowacka, on its annual list of the 100 most influential global thinkers for their role in organising the "black protest" against a total ban on abortion in Poland.[5]

In February 2019, she left the Razem party due to disagreements over party strategy in then-upcoming elections to the European Parliament.[6] In August 2019, she was elected to the Coordinating Collective of DiEM25.[7]

Dziemianowicz-Bąk was elected to the Sejm on 13 October 2019, receiving 14,257 votes in the Wrocław district, campaigning from The Left list.[2]

Aside from protesting abortion laws, Dziemianowicz-Bąk has also been active in protests for LGBT rights.[8] In September 2020, she won the Equality Crowns award for politics from Campaign Against Homophobia. She said that she wished such an award was not necessary.[9]

On 13 December 2023, she was appointed as the Minister of Family, Labour and Social Policy by Donald Tusk.[10]
