Parliament has adopted legislative amendments requiring the Government to assess the impact of draft legislation on gender equity and equality. This measure will contribute to strengthening the principle of gender equality in public policy-making. The analysis will be mandatory for all draft legislation that may have a significant impact on gender equity and equality and will include: – Identification of direct and indirect gender discrimination generated by the provisions of the draft legislation. -Identification of inequalities affecting women and men. -Proposals for concrete measures to reduce the inequalities and discrimination identified. The problem is the insufficient participation of women in social and economic life compared to men. Women and men face unequal access to and control over resources and services. In this respect, the legislative changes aimed to ensure economic inclusion of all citizens by removing gender barriers and creating an enabling framework for building a fairer and more prosperous society for all, based on economic growth, poverty reduction, sustainable development and stronger democracy. The Government will develop the methodology for carrying out gender impact analysis and will monitor compliance with legal requirements by the authorities responsible for drafting legislation. The amendments to Law 100/2017 on normative acts were promoted by the Ministry of Justice, and the Secretariat of the Economic Council came up with the proposal to consider separately the potential impact of the normative act on gender equality and equity. The legislative amendments on the impact assessment of draft legislation on gender equity and equality aim to bring the legislation of the Republic of Moldova in line with EU best practices. The global leader in gender equality is Denmark, which has a significant representation of women in politics – 50% in parliament, and in the management of companies – 36%. And the gender pay gap is low – just 4%, compared to 14% in Moldova. The Secretariat of the Economic Council to the Prime Minister is supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, funded by the UK Government’s Good Governance Fund.
