- Violence against women / gender-based violence
Type:RecommendationSession:2nd session, May 2008Status:AcceptedContents:Strengthen the efforts made to combat violence against women by way of information, prevention, protection of victims and punishment of the perpetrators.ImplementationNational Report:
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. One of the most important improvements of the law is the introduction of the restriction order, which is a measure of protection for the victim of domestic violence that can be issued by the court. Another specific measure of protection provided by the new law aims to improve the efficiency of authorities to support and advise victims in order to resort to legal means for sanctioning domestic violence cases.
Para 109) Besides the legal improvements, a number of programs with national coverage were dedicated to this field of activity, based on a financing offered from the state budged by the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Protection.
Para 110) Also, in December 2009, a group of 12 EU Member States among which Romania, presented a proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and the Council on the European protection order. The proposal was adopted in 2011 (Directive 2011/99/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 on the European protection order).
Para 111) During the year 2010, at national level 36 informal campaigns were conducted, 19 domestic violence prevention projects and also about 37.000 persons received preventive information. In conducting the activities, external partners have been involved as well. -

- Discrimination based on gender identity
Type:RecommendationSession:43rd Session, May 2023Status:Unclear ResponseContents:Amend legislation to provide for the prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of gender identity.
ExplanationNoted. ... with the explanation that there is a need to examine in detail the domestic legal framework in relation to the complaints filed by the applicants. In addition, there is a need to thoroughly examine the legal avenues to execute the judgement of the European Court of Human Rights. ... Romania upholds its position that a revision of the anti-discrimination law is not necessary, after careful assessment by the National Council for Combatting Discrimination. Under the European Convention on Human Rights and European Union law, in light of the case-law at European and domestic level, acts of discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation fall within the scope of the protection of the national anti-discrimination law.

- Marginalized groups of women
- Gender equality
Type:Review DocumentationSession:2nd session, May 2008Status:N/AContents:As regards gender equality, the 2006-2009 National Strategy and Plan of Action for Equal Opportunities between women and men provide for actions to improve the situation of vulnerable categories, including those that are the most exposed to marginalization and social exclusion, because of multiple discriminations. Women are very much present in the political, social and economical life but there is still room for improvement insofar as representation at the top- decisional level is concerned. According to the assessment of the National Agency for Equal Opportunities between Women and Men (NAEO), in rural communities, women encounter obstacles in acquiring equal opportunities with men. Therefore, improving the socio-professional condition of women in rural areas is one of NAEO's priorities for 2008 (a job market for this category will be organized shortly). [Para 33] -
