UN SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON VIOLENCE
AGAINST
WOMEN - MISSION TO MOLDOVA
Excerpt: IV. CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
81. One of the most common gendered
outcomes of the post-Soviet transition is the dual burden of economic exclusion
and patriarchal transgression in women's lives. In the Republic of Moldova,
while violence within the private sphere has been found to be the most
prevalent form of abuse confronting women, the risk of torture and
ill-treatment is particularly manifest in the context of irregular migration
which often intersects with trafficking for the purposes of sexual and labour
exploitation. Migration of Moldova women, which is initially motivated by
economic pressures, is strongly linked to violence and ill-treatment within
private life.
