The primary goal of the Istabul Convention is to prevent violence against women.
According to the author, identified as Zurab Makharadze, a Georgian academic:
The Polish government's decision to leave the Istanbul Convention could lead to an in-depth debate in Europe and a thorough review of the treaty itself. In addition, there may be a greater respect for a society based on national identity and dignity and a traditional family.This follows a compliance visit which started in late September and ended October 2, 2020. The report will be issued sometime in 2021.
Draw your own conclusions but I strongly suspect that the withdrawal is related to a visit that did not go well.
Meanwhile, in late September, the National Assembly of Kosovo decided to apply the Istanbul Convention.
