Take Five: "We want to have competent psychologists in Moldova who do not devalue the importance of this profession."

In an ever-changing world with complex challenges and pressures, mental health has become a topic of vital importance.

In Moldova, a law on this issue, known as the ‘Law on Psychologists,’ was drafted and will soon be submitted for approval to Parliament. In this interview, one of the law’s authors, Liliana Grosu, a Member of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, discusses the law’s benefits for professionals as well as its future impact on society.

UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls

How much does the world care about ending violence against women and girls? We don’t know. What we do know, is that the human cost of violence against women and girls is incalculable.

One in three women experience physical or sexual violence at least once in their lifetime. Violence against women and girls is one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations. The COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts and climate change have exacerbated the risks for this violence and generated new threats, amplifying the vulnerability of women and girls.
