EU/CoE Partnership for Good Governance supports the Moldovan Equality Council on addressing the principles of intersectionality in cases of discrimination.
On the 23rd and 24th of July, the team of the Moldovan Equality Council participated in a 2-day online training on intersectional discrimination – a perspective on how to analyze the effects and the concept of intersectionality in situations when intolerance and discrimination occur. Frederique Ast, Council of Europe consultant, shared her knowledge and the experience of the French Defender of Rights on how to build a case using the concept of intersectionality. The provided information was complete and extensive, with a strong emphasis on the case-law of the CEDAW committee, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Committee of Social Rights.
This activity was organized as part of the assistance provided to the Moldovan Equality Council, partner institution of the national project “Strengthening the capacities of the justice sector actors to deliver justice in line with European standards, in particular to fight discrimination in the Republic of Moldova”, implemented in the frame of the joint EU/CoE Programme “Partnership for Good Governance II”.
