7 April 2026, Chisinau – Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, Cristina Gherasimov, participated today in the International Platform dedicated to preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, a topic that is an integral part of the Republic of Moldova’s European path.

’For any democratic society, the protection of human dignity and fundamental rights is the cornerstone. In the Republic of Moldova, violence against women and domestic violence remains a social problem, but also a matter of justice and security that requires joint efforts by the authorities and every individual citizen,’ said Cristina Gherasimov.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Gherasimov, in recent years, concrete steps have been taken in the Republic of Moldova to combat all forms of violence by strengthening the institutional framework for gender equality, training specialists, and creating concrete services for victims where they can be heard and protected.

’We continue to work toward this goal, developing better data collection tools and evaluating existing public policies to understand where more targeted intervention is needed. Our path to the European Union will be complete when we succeed in building a society where one’s own home is a safe space for everyone who lives there,’ Cristina Gherasimov added.
