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.
