Discrimination Protections
As of February 2008, a large coalition of human rights organisations, including Information Centre GenderDoc-M, are lobbying the government for implementation of anti-discrimination legislation in line with European standards, which would include sexual orientation as one of protected grounds.
A bill, which bans discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in employment, was adopted by the Moldavian Parliament on May 25, 2012 and signed into law by the country's president Nicolae Timofti on May 28, 2012. The law will take effect on January 1, 2013.
