Alternative Report

to the Polish government’s report on the implementation of the “Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Right of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography” with reference to article 12(1) of the Protocol

This Alternative Report has been developed by the Nobody’s Children Foundation and the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, and in cooperation with more other NGOs playing active role in the field of the protection of child rights.

In the document NGOs provide significant information missing in the government’s report, elaborate on the issues that were not presented with sufficient accuracy, and, most importantly, make recommendations that they believe are necessary to implement in Poland in order to improve the observance of children’s rights to protection from trafficking, prostitution, and pornography.
