In addition to ending femicide, domestic violence, trafficking, sexual violence, and exploitation, she will also focus on access to reproductive rights.

In addition, Asalem will examine the systemic causes of gender-based violence in Poland. Adolescent girls, women, and girls from ethnic minorities, women refugees and migrants, women and girls with varying sexual orientations and gender identities, as well as women who are active in the public sphere, such as human rights defenders, politicians, and journalists, will be assessed.
