According to the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, the relevant committee of the National Council for Human Rights has reviewed the findings of the UN Committee’s seventh periodic report on Moldova and identified specific actions required to implement the recommendations set out in that document.
In which areas does the UN recommend strengthening measures?
The CEDAW Committee noted Moldova’s progress in promoting gender equality. In particular, it highlighted the development of legislation on equal opportunities, measures to prevent violence and harassment in the workplace, and efforts to combat violence against women.
The strengthening of the institutional framework, the adoption of national policies in this area and the ratification of relevant international instruments were also commended.
At the same time, the Committee recommended continuing efforts to prevent discrimination against women and girls in education, healthcare, employment, social protection, the administration of justice and decision-making.
With regard to four of the recommendations, Moldova must, within two years, provide information on the measures taken and the progress achieved.
From recommendations to concrete action
At the meeting, members of the National Council’s commission emphasised the need to move from legislative and institutional changes to their practical implementation. Priorities include strengthening the capacity of state institutions, coordinating public policy and evaluating outcomes.
During a practical session, representatives from the participating institutions proposed specific actions and indicators for monitoring the implementation of the recommendations. These proposals will form the basis of a roadmap designed to ensure the coordinated implementation of measures and the tracking of results achieved.
“Implementing these recommendations requires inter-agency cooperation, expert support and the assumption of specific commitments. No single institution can tackle these challenges on its own, and progress will depend on our ability to coordinate efforts and find common solutions,” said Felicia Bechtold, State Secretary at the Ministry.
The implementation of the CEDAW recommendations is also seen as part of the work to align national reforms with EU standards in the field of equality and non-discrimination.
