Background
Following the Council of Europe's decision of December 2023 to open the negotiations for accession of the Republic of Moldova, national institutions need to strengthen efforts to advance the EU integration process and accelerate reforms. The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Moldova chairs two working groups: No. 2 - on free movement of workers and No. 19 - on social policy and employment. Besides these two working groups, the relevant directorates of the Ministry, such as child protection, gender equality, disability policies, are involved in other working groups, such as Working Group No. 23 on justice and fundamental rights, which is part of the cluster 1. Cluster 1 is the first to be opened in the negotiations and the last to be closed. It is, therefore, imperative that the Ministry and its team demonstrate results and transpose the acquis communautaire.
The Directorate for Gender Equality Policy participates in the process of integration of the Republic of Moldova into the EU, among other things, is involved in activities of analysis and transposition of European norms, such as recommendations, decisions, directives on ensuring equal opportunities between women and men in various social spheres, as well as elements of assistance and protection for victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. Due to the increased workload, the current staff of the Directorate cannot cope with all the needs necessary for the acquis communautaire. Moreover, these processes are also to be carried out in the context of the situation of refugees, who have become a part of the community and who also need to be integrated in terms of ensuring gender equality, and also preventing gender-based violence and the risks of trafficking or exploitation.
An experienced gender equality consultant is therefore needed to help the team to coordinate the whole process and to provide the necessary advice in the policy development process needed to align the acquis communautaire with the relevant department.
