A/HRC/41/33/Add.4 Ad Part VII “Family and culture”, paragraph 64 With reference to the availability of child care facilities for children up to the age of three, it is necessary to pay attention to the ratio of children under care of institutions. The indicator mentioned in the report does not reflect the real situation in Poland. It is recommended to use the data of the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy. The ratio was 8,3% in 2013, 16% in 2017 and 19,8% in 2018. The ratio takes into account places provided by nurseries, children’s clubs, day-care providers, and nannies. Since the introduction of annual parental leave in 2013, the ratio is calculated for children aged 1-3 (without three-years-olds), because the number of children up to 1 year in childcare institutions fell to 2%. Ad Part VII “Family and culture”, paragraph 66 In the opinion of Polish authorities, the problem of combating family violence is a significant social issue, and a number of measures have been taken with a view to assuring safety to victims. Ad Part VII “Family and culture”, paragraph 71 The existing system of combating violence in Poland is to a large extent compatible with the premises of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence. Its objective is to prevent violence and protect the victims. Furthermore, a number of measures are being undertaken with a view to fulfilling all of the Convention’s premises. A round-the-clock national helpline has been set up for the victims of violence, and an additional facilities providing assistance to victims have been opened. Despite the fact that the Act on Prevention of Violence in Family makes no direct reference to economic violence, it must, be stressed that such violence is treated as a form of psychological violence and appropriate support is provided to the victims. Ad Part IX “Conclusions and recommendations”, paragraph 82, Recommendations with regard to economic and social life, no 4-5 Based on previous explanations, Poland considers the recommendations for the education system formulated in the Report of the Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and in practice on its mission to Poland to be unfounded. 12
