Well, they are clumsily trying, but as long as they insist on being Catholics they are still helplessly hellbound.

WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland will take steps next week to withdraw from a European treaty on violence against women, which the right-wing cabinet says violates parents’ rights by requiring schools to teach children about gender, the justice minister said on Saturday.
Zbigniew Ziobro [Editor's note: that's basically pronounced "Zzzzzz Zzzz"] told a news conference his ministry would submit a request to the labour and families ministry on Monday to begin the process of withdrawing from the treaty, known as the Istanbul Convention.
“It contains elements of an ideological nature, which we consider harmful,” Ziobro said.
Poland’s ruling Law and Justice (PiS [Editor's note: yes, that's pronounced "piss"]) party and its coalition partners closely align themselves with the Catholic Church and promote a conservative social agenda. Hostility to gay rights was one of the main issues promoted by President Andrej Duda [Editor's note: there's a "z" missing in his first name there, but who cares] during a successful re-election campaign this month.
On Friday, thousands of people, mostly women, protested in Warsaw and other cities against proposals to reject the treaty.
“The aim is to legalise domestic violence,” Marta Lempart, one of the protest organisers said on Friday at a march in Warsaw. Some protesters carried banners saying “PiS is the women’s hell”.
PiS has long complained about the Istanbul Convention, which Poland ratified under a previous centrist government in 2015. The government says the treaty is disrespectful towards religion and requires teaching liberal social policies in schools, although in the past it has stopped short of a decision to quit.

As far as the official reasoning goes - that all that liberal gender/LBTQ/feminist/communist/atheist agenda is brainwashing innocent kids into perverts - that certainly needs to be applauded.
I do wonder, whether Polish president Duda (recently reelected for a second term) might be secretly a True Christian™, playing a Catholic just to win the vote of Polish idiots?
