14/04/2020 (Agence Europe) – “It is with dismay that I have learned that Poland’s Parliament’s lower house plans to resume this week the examination of two citizens’ bills that aim to restrict women’s access to safe and legal abortion care and children’s right to sexuality education. I urge the Parliament to reject both these bills and to remain vigilant against any other initiatives that seek to limit human rights or stigmatise certain groups of people”, said Dunja Mijatović, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, on Tuesday 14 April. “In this extraordinary time of the COVID-19 pandemic, politicians and decision-makers must resist the temptation to push through measures that are incompatible with human rights”, she said.
