In the context of the development of a joint methodology for collecting statistical data regarding domestic violence, the project “Development of an integrated information system for management of data on violence within the family in the Republic of Moldova” was launched on 1 July 2008. It is funded by the Agency for International Assistance of the Romanian Government for Moldova and implemented by UNFPA in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Protection, Family and Children and civil society.
