A recent roundtable discussion in Chisinau highlighted the expansion of the Human Rights Guide for Moldova. The event, held on November 11, 2024, brought together representatives from government institutions, civil society organizations, academia, and international partners to discuss the latest developments of the Guide.

The Human Rights Guide provides a comprehensive resource on human rights for the citizens of Moldova. The Guide in Moldova is available online in three languages - Romanian, Russian, and English - and covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of what are human rights to more complex issues such as discrimination .

At the roundtable, experts introduced three new Guide themes: Civic participation, Arrest & Detention, and Human rights restrictions. The inclusion of civic participation is particularly significant, as it emphasizes the importance of citizens actively engaging in their country's democratic processes. This is a significant step, considering the recent political events in Moldova.

The Guide is part of a broader European platform for human rights education and aims to empower individuals to understand and protect their rights. The Human Rights Guide was founded initially as an initiative in the Baltic region. Now, it has become a European platform, available in eleven countries, including Moldova.

The project in Moldova is implemented by the Baltic Human Rights Society in partnership with the Moldovan Human Rights Embassy.

This project is financially supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia under the "Development Cooperation Projects and International Aid" Programme. The project in Eastern partnership countries is supported by its associate partners the Ombudsman of the Republic of Latvia, the Riga Graduate School of Law, 2022 Nobel prize winner Center for Civil Liberties (Ukraine), the People's Advocate of Moldova, the Equality Council of Moldova and the Grigol Robakidze University Georgia.
