Probleme actuale ale egalității de gen în Republica Moldova

Abstract

The topic examined in the article is important, given the fact that gender equality is an important human right, but this right has often been violated during historical development and is still violated in modern societies. And the Republic of Moldova is not an exception in this regard. The purpose of the research consists in the analysis of gender equality and its problems in the Republic of Moldova. For the analysis of the chosen problem, the following methods were used: analysis, synthesis, comparison, induction, deduction, and study of the legislative framework, of reports related to the problem in question, analysis of statistical data. The Republic of Moldova is facing severe problems related to gender equality. Women face different obstacles in the education system, in health, in politics, and in other fields. This is mainly due to the persistent patriarchal attitudes in society, but also to customs, traditions, the passive position of many women, the insufficient involvement of civil society. The existence of gender inequalities in society involves certain costs both for women individually and for society as a whole.
