Forty-five NGOs focused on women's rights and gender equality have sent an open letter to Justice Minister Radu Marinescu. The letter addresses the establishment of a new agency for crime victim protection, which would take over domestic violence prevention from the National Agency for Equal Opportunities. The organizations argue that the definition of victims does not encompass all forms of gender-based violence, and many victims do not report incidents. They emphasize the need for independent services and data collection on victims. The letter calls for effective consultation with relevant ministries and the inclusion of disaggregated data indicators in the methodology for data collection. The NGOs express willingness to collaborate and engage in dialogue.
