UN Compilation >> Romania, Review Documentation, 43rd Session, May 2023

The Working Group on discrimination against women and girls recommended introducing targeted intersectional and gender-sensitive measures to create more opportunities for women to gain access to formal employment, especially in rural areas, and to integrate women from marginalized communities, such as Roma women and migrant and refugee women, into the labour market. It recommended introducing additional and targeted measures to ensure a work-life balance for women, especially for single mothers who were primary caregivers – including introducing flexible working conditions, ensuring access to childcare facilities, and undertaking awareness-raising activities to encourage the use of parental leave by fathers.
