13 organizations from Poland created a CEDAW Coalition to prepare an alternative report to the governmental report on the realization of the CEDAW Convention in 2011. The governmental report was not released until 2014. In 2013 the organizations were invited to the consultations on the governmental report but not many suggestions were taken into consideration and incorporated into the final version.

Poland was reviewed by the Committee at its 59^th Session, on the 22^nd of October. The representation of the CEDAW Coalition (6 persons) was present in Geneva at the session.
