The Prime Minister, Mr. V. Tarlev, welcomes and supports the initiative of the Antidiscrimination Coalition to promote an antidiscrimination legislative framework in the Republic of Moldova. This opinion was expressed on 18 September current year, within a joint meeting of the Prime Minister Vasile Tarlev and the Coalition of non-governmental organisations for preventing and combating discrimination in the Republic of Moldova.
The Antidiscrimination Coalition mentioned the need for a legislative framework to prevent and combat discrimination in the Republic of Moldova and its availability to support the efforts of the Government in this field, according to the engagements under the EU-Moldova Action Plan.
After the discussions it was agreed to create a working group of representatives of Ministries and the Antidiscrimination Coalition. This group will analyse the situation in the field and will elaborate the regulatory framework and the mechanism of its implementation. In the future the group could work on raising awareness of the population, training public officials, and collaborating with mass media in adequately covering the phenomenon of discrimination.
The Antidiscrimination Coalition is an initiative of non-governmental organizations active in the field of protecting and promoting human rights, among which: the National Youth Council of Moldova (CNTM), Information Centre “GenderDoc-M”, the National Roma Centre of Moldova, Moldovan League for Human Rights Protection (LADOM), the Resource Centre of Non-Governmental Organisations for Human Rights in Moldova (CreDO), Non-Governmental Organisation “Demo-Lex”, the Association for Promoting Legal Clinics (APCJM), the Independent Society for Education and Human Rights (SIEDO), etc.
