On 3-6 June and 14-17 July 2014, Promo-LEX in partnership with The Equal Rights Trust organized four training sessions on equality and non-discrimination.

The aim of the trainings was to help increase awareness of civil society of the Law No.121 on Ensuring Equality, and international standards on equality and non-discrimination. In the long term, the trainings will contribute to building the capacity of civil society representatives in Moldova in fighting discrimination.

The trainings were organized in Chisinau and Balti. A total of 86 representatives of civil society from Moldova, including the Transnistrian region were trained. Trainings were conducted by experts from The Equal Rights Trust and the Moldovan Council to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination and Ensure Equality.

The participants were satisfied with the training program, which included both theoretical sessions and practical exercises, and the accessible way in which topics were presented. This contributed to a better understanding of the subjects covered during the trainings. In the practical sessions, the participants examined several cases of discrimination, both from international practice and from that of the Council on Equality of Moldova.

The trainings were organized as part of the project “Strengthening the capacity of civil society in Moldova, including the Transnistrian region, to fight discrimination through advocacy actions”, implemented by Promo-LEX and ERT, and funded by the European Union.
