Gays Encouraged by Prime Minister’s Support for Antidiscrimination Coalition Plans
CHISINAU, September 22, 2007 – The gay community in Moldova is encouraged that the Prime Minister, Vasile Tarlev, has welcomed proposals of the Antidiscrimination Coalition to promote an anti-discrimination legislative framework for the country. Earlier this week, he met representative of the Coalition and told them that he supports the suggestions. During the meeting, the Coalition mentioned the need for a legislative framework to prevent and combat discrimination in Moldova – and pledged support for the government as it worked towards the European Union-Moldova Action Plan. It was agreed to set-up a working group of representatives of Government Ministries and the Antidiscrimination Coalition. This group will analyse the situation and will work on both the regulatory framework and the mechanism of its implementation. And looking further into the future, it was agreed that the group would work on raising awareness of the population, training public officials, and collaborating with media in adequately covering the whole area of discrimination. The Antidiscrimination Coalition is a scheme set up by non-governmental organizations active in the field of protecting and promoting human rights. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Information Centre “GenderDoc-M” have joined forces with the National Youth Council of Moldova (CNTM), 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), and others.
