Poland: Information for stateless people and those at risk of statelessness fleeing Ukraine
5. OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
Cases have been reported of people being assaulted and threatened, and discriminatory treatment during the
evacuation process and while queueing at the border. The media has reported hate crimes against certain
groups, including Russians and transgender people. The safest border crossings are those which are
connected, see: Association for Legal Intervention.
Polish law on civil registration allows for the registration of civil acts abroad in the absence of proper
registration, including birth registrations. HNLAC is working on setting up a system of referral for
unaccompanied children to be able to initiate legal guardianship procedures pro bono. For updates, see:
HNLAC.
