- Summary
- This new publication of La Strada Moldova reflects the role of civil society organisations in carrying out independent evaluations of state anti-trafficking policy. The report assesses the implementation of state obligations towards the protection of the rights of trafficked persons. It includes both trafficked persons’ experiences with the provided services, as well as opinions of specialists from various organisations interviewed during the research. The report provides general conclusions and recommendations to overcome identified challenges, which are directed specifically to the Permanent Secretariat of the National Committee to Combat Trafficking in Persons but also to the greater anti-trafficking community in Moldova. The proposed measures aim to strengthen rights-based approaches in the development and implementation of state anti-trafficking policy, ensure a positive impact of this policy on the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of victims of trafficking in human beings, and enhance the efficiency of the measures taken by all actors in the field. The recommendations, when implemented, can facilitate the coordination of state anti-trafficking and human rights policy and encourage sustainable development of government efforts in these areas. The publication is available in English, Russian and Romanian.
