In Moldova, recent reports and legislative updates have highlighted critical issues regarding violence and exploitation. A report from the Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding 2025 data revealed that shared housing is a primary site for severe domestic violence, noting that 55 of 68 severe cases involved victims living with their aggressors. In response to broader criminal challenges, the General Prosecutor's Office has approved new methodological guidelines to improve investigations into human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children. These guidelines focus on victim identification, asset recovery, and the collection of digital evidence to address crimes involving information and communication technologies. On September 25, 2026, Moldovan police reported 55 incidents of domestic violence occurring in a single day. In response to these reports, authorities implemented several immediate restrictive measures. Law enforcement issued 15 emergency protection orders and enforced three court-issued protection orders. Furthermore, police documented four violations of judicial protection orders, issued two reports regarding non-compliance with existing restrictions, and filed three reports for domestic violence resulting in minor bodily harm.
