    Summary note
    "This report documents how, since coming to power in 2015, the Law and Justice government has targeted women's rights groups through raids and defunding, often with little warning and no clear rationale. Human Rights Watch found that government agencies have dragged employees who support women's rights protests or collaborate with women's rights groups before disciplinary hearings and threatened their jobs. The government has failed to counter -- and sometimes appeared to support -- public smear campaigns by ruling party and other politicians and church-backed groups that mischaracterize women's rights organizations and their work as dangerous to families and so-called 'traditional values'."--Publisher website.
