Re: Laws against harassment and discrimination at the workplace

The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women had before it Romania�s sixth periodic report (document CEDAW/C/ROM/6) on that country�s implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women from 1998 to 2002. Romania ratified the Convention in 1982 and is also a signatory to its Optional Protocol, which it ratified in 2003.

ccording to the report, a change in political leadership in November 2000 provided an opportunity to promote women�s rights in a dynamic fashion. Since its last report to the Committee, Romania has adopted an ordinance on the prevention of all forms of discrimination, making it the first Eastern or Central European country to adopt anti-discrimination regulations. Under that law (Ordinance No. 137/2000), individuals or human rights organizations may bring complaints before the National Council for Combating Discrimination, a Government entity that has received more than 100 complaints since its inception in August 2002. It deals with accusations of differentiated treatment between women and men in the workplace, unequal access to leadership positions, discrimination against the Roma community, and discrimination against persons with disabilities.
