curatorship in vocational and trade schools, specialized secondary and higher education institutions, boarding schools and orphanages, approved by Government Decision no. 870 of July 28, 2014. For this category of children there are reduced opportunities for training (professionalization), limited number of qualification possibilities offered by the Employment Agency;  Increased vulnerability of orphans who have reached the age of 18. Many of these people do not have the basic conditions for independent living, housing, financial sources for survival. Moreover, if these children (teenagers) are enrolled in professional studies, they are stopped the allowance of (1400 MDL), and the guardians and APP in whose care the children are, are outraged by this fact. At the same time, a considerable impediment to the protection of orphans who have reached the age of 18 is the lack of access to housing, a problem also analyzed by the Council of Europe Special Rapporteur Djuna Mijatovic within the Council of Europe Special Report on the right to affordable housing167. Thus, although the legislation stipulates the obligation of the State to insure orphaned children who have left the residential housing system, the situation at the practical level does not correspond to the stipulated legislative norms. The People's Advocate for Children's Rights notes that the competent authorities neglect their direct responsibilities in this area. In this regard, we point out that the national authorities have failed to provide effective protection for children left without parental care. The Children's Ombudsman encourages the State to make extensive use of the standards and principles on the rights of the child in the Convention and other international human rights instruments, on the segment of children left without parental care, to guide behavior, actions, policies and programs, in particular: non-discrimination; the best interests of the child; the right to life, survival and development; the right to be heard and taken into account; and the right of the child to be guided in the exercise of his or her rights by caregivers, parents and community members, in accordance with the developmental abilities of the child without parental care. The People's Advocate for Children's Rights considers that the strategies and initiatives currently adopted do not have an approach focused on the rights, needs and interests of the child 167 https://www.coe.int/en/web/commissioner/-/the-right-to-affordable-housing-europe-s-neglected-duty 96
