Ordo Iuris submitted comments on the draft on goverment's National Program for Equal Treatment for 2013-2015. The representative of Ordo Juris took part in the public consultation on this program, which was hosted by the Government Plenipotentiary for Equal Treatment Agnieszka Kozłowska-Rajewicz on May 24th in the building of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland. The consultation was attended by dozens of people from non-governmental organizations from around the country, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Labour and Social Policy and the Ministry of Justice.
In its written statement, Ordo Iuris expressed several objections to the Draft of the Program, starting with its bias towards gender ideology. Ordo Iuris stressed, that in the light of art. 25 par.2, it is not allowed for government to promote any ideology and it is equally applicable to the gender approach, which has been strongly advanced by this office.
