State Under Review:RomaniaRomaniaRegional groupEEGPolitical groupEUOIFSource Of Reference:National ReportIssue:
- Discrimination based on sexual orientation
- Criminal laws on same-sex sexual practices
Type:Review DocumentationSession:2nd session, May 2008Status:N/AContents:Article 200 of the Criminal Code, incriminating sexual relations between persons of the same sex, was repealed in 2002. Discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation is prohibited by law. LGBT communities have become more visible in recent years, including as result of events such as Bucharest's annual "Gay Fest" parade and Cluj Napoca's Gay Film Nights Festival. In the post-communist period, social attitudes in relation to sexual minorities have started to change and, after years of total silence, this topic is being openly discussed in the mass-media. Nevertheless, given an incriminatory past and the conservatory views existing in the society, sexual minorities are still vulnerable to prejudices and discriminatory attitudes. [Para 35] -

- Women's and / or girls' rights
Type:Review DocumentationSession:2nd session, May 2008Status:N/AContents:Article 47 of the Constitution provides for the maternity leave. According to article 10 of the Labor Code, maternity can not be a reason for discrimination and dismissal during the maternity. In addition, it is forbidden to ask a candidate, when applying for a job, to present a pregnancy certificate and/or to sign a commitment that she won't become pregnant or give birth to a child during the period of validity of her working contract. In the private economic sector, there are situations where pregnancy becomes an obstacle either for getting or for keeping a job. Labor inspectors are expected to take a more pro-active stance in this respect, thoroughly investigating such instances and applying sanctions accordingly. [Para 87] -

- Training for state personnel on sexual rights issues

- Transgender persons' rights
Type:RecommendationSession:15th session, February 2013Status:AcceptedContents:Further intensify training for State and local authorities and the public at large on international human rights standards, particularly those in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 68) Romania’s legal framework ensures the respect of human rights for all persons, without discrimination of any form, as provided by the Romanian Constitution that also mentions the respect and protection of private life. The antidiscrimination law in Romania (Ordinance no. 137/ 31 August 2000, Art. 2.1) is among the most extensive and inclusive, defining discrimination in a very large sense, including discrimination based on sex and sexual orientation. Since 2000 the law includes provisions on combating incitement to hatred and fighting all discrimination forms. Civil society organizations promoting the respect of the rights of LGBTI persons are active in Romania for watchdog, support and rights promotion activities for the LGBTI community in Romania/Bucharest especially. Yearly, Bucharest hosts the annual festival dedicated to support the rights of the LGBTI persons – Pride Week, including a March for Diversity – Pride parade.
UN Compilation:
Para 11) CRC was concerned that …, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex children … continued to face discrimination with regard to access to education, health care and employment, and to their standard of living.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 7) Save the Children Romania (SCR) stated that Roma children, children … who had identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons continued to be discriminated in sectors such as education or health care.
Para 8) Equality and Human Rights Action Centre (ACTEDO) noted that Roma and LGBT+ persons had reportedly been target of hate speech.
Para 13) EU-FRA stated that the 2011 Civil Code prohibited same-sex partnership and marriage and prohibited the recognition of such partnership and marriages concluded in other countries. Despite this, ACCEP and ACTEDO reported on an initiative to hold a referendum in order to amend the Constitution to specify the legal definition of family as a marriage between a man and women. ACTEDO noted a high level of intolerance displayed towards LGBT+ persons by many public figures during the referendum campaign.
Para 14) ACCEPT stated that gender identity was not explicitly included in the list of criteria of non-discrimination and that the rights of transgender people remained largely ignored by the authorities. There were no official medical protocols and training for professionals on providing healthcare services for transgender persons and very few psychologists and medical professionals were available to provide such services. Medical interventions were not covered by the public healthcare insurance. The legislation on name change obliged transgender persons to go through court procedures. In the absence of clear regulations and laws, the courts issued contradictory interpretation of the law on aspects of gender affirming surgery.

Para 108) Regarding the prevention and elimination of domestic violence against women (recommendation 13), Law no. 217/2003 on preventing and combating domestic violence has been recently substantially amended by Law no. 25/2012.
