i-icon World Bank Income Classification:Low Income The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations. i-icon Least Developed Country:Yes Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability. i-icon Gender Inequality Index:0.575 GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa. i-icon Gender Development Index:0.723 GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Parliament and Government adopt and implement laws, policies and strategies to prevent violence against women and girls and deliver quality essential services

The outcome was not fully achieved. However, important legal and policy milestones have been attained in the Republic of Moldova, during 2021. The Parliament ratified the Council of Europe Convention on Elimination of Violence against Women, including domestic violence (IC) on October 14, 2001, on the basis of the Government decision n. 221 from September 30, 2021 and in line with the CEDAW Recommendation n. 23, issued in 2020. Following the Ratification, the Government a) included in its Action plan for 2021-2022 the submission of the 2nd draft package of criminal legislation to Parliament by May 2022, which would complete the cycle of on-going normative amendments; and b) endorsed the Intersectoral protocol on EVAW, to be adopted in early 2022. At regional level, the District Council of Ungheni, adopted the Regulation for the establishment of the first ever specialized service for victims of sexual violence. While violence against women and girls continues to persist, women survivors received better protection by law enforcement officials in 2021 as the number of protection orders issued increased by 11,80% with regards to the previous year (5851 PO in 2021, 4939 in 2020, 4250 in 2019, 3877 in 2018, 2161 in 2017). Women and girls feel more empowered and increasingly report cases of violence, including sexual violence, since the reported cases in 2021 increased by 7,22% in comparison to the previous year (360 cases in 2020 and 578 in 2021). In 2021, over 17.000 women were reached through a nation-wide shared video reflecting on the available Essential services for women victims of violence and 920.000 of inhabitants were reached by electricity bills envisaging a message encouraging people facing gender-based violence or those who know people facing gender-based violence to report cases or to request help from 112 helpline. In 2021, 240 women from vulnerable groups, out of which 12 women survivors from Cahul and Ungheni regions, were assisted and referred to the essential services through NGO service providers; 64 women survivors of violence a) empowered trough art therapy sessions and b) advised on the available services and income generating activities. These important achievements have been possible due to the persistent and continuous engagement of UN Women in advocacy, provision of technical assistance and capacity development as well as from the strong partnership with the Parliament, with the central Government and local level authorities, the women survivors, the CSO service providers, the private sector, and development partners, in particular through the financial support of Sweden and the EU. UN Women – based on the CEDAW Recommendations –contributed significantly to the ratification process of the IC by leading the UNCT and partnering with Council of Europe and the CSO Coalition “Life without violence” in tailored advocacy since 2018, by establishing strong partnership with Parliament and Government, by providing expert and policy support on the legal gaps within the national legislation vis-à-vis IC as well as extensive policy support to a wide range of national stakeholders. UN Women contributed to the strengthening of capacities of service providers through intensive and tailor-made trainings delivered to 344 police officers and 82 service providers from the Multidisciplinary teams. Last but not least, UN Women partnered with the Council of Europe Office in Chisinau (CoE) and the National Coalition “Life without Violence” on several joint advocacy and communication campaigns, including 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, by engaging and giving voice directly to women survivors and targeting over 1000 parliamentarians, government officials and stakeholders, service providers, as well as by organizing round tables and public events and initiatives of social corporate responsibility, driven by the private sector. Based on the progress made to date, the original strategy and theory of change for this outcome is still valid and applicable. UN Women will continue to support the Government in a) the legislative amendments so it ensures the complete reflection of global norms and standards, b) the accessibility and quality of specialist services, in c) supporting the networking of women survivors of violence so that a real impact on the lives of the estimated 1,405 million women and girls in the country subject to all forms of violence is improved.
