Recommendation
CRPD recommended that Poland ensure that women and girls with disabilities had access to support when they made important life decisions for themselves and were not subjected to sterilization without their full, free and informed consent. It urged Poland to put an end to the use of conversion therapy and to offer support for persons with a psychosocial disability that respected the gender identity and sexual orientation of the persons concerned. The Committee also recommended that Poland abolish all legal provisions prohibiting persons with disabilities from marrying and from founding a family and that it develop inclusive support systems to assist families with children with disabilities and parents with disabilities, to support their parenthood.
