Published: 06.11.2013

As a result of the actions taken up by Ordo Iuris Intervention Centre Regional Administrative Court in Warsaw obliged the Commissioner for Children’s Rights to provide a exhaustive explanation for the request for information about the course and conclusion of the meeting with the Campaign Against Homophobia activists on 17 April 2013.

The court also obliged the Commissioner to grant access to his correspondence with the Campaign Against Homophobia from January 2010 to present day.

A short information published on the Commissioner's website has inspired a journalist to request for an access to detailed information about the Commissioner's meeting with LGBTQ activists. The meeting introduced a subject on teacher attitudes towards LGBTQ youth. A request for detailed information about the meeting was rejected twice by the Commissioner's office.
