Chisinau, Moldova - Associate Diana Ichim underwent a training program for Moldovan legal professionals on anti-discrimination. Organized by the Civic Participation Program of Soros Foundation-Moldova, the training was conducted by the respected experts in the field Istvan Haller (member of Romania\'s National Council for Combating Discrimination and Secretary of State), Romanița Iordache (Romanian Human Rights Researcher, Anti-Discrimination Legal Expert with the European Commission Network) and Lilian Darii (lecturer with the Moldovan State University and Executive Director of the National Legal Aid Council Administrative Body).

The program sought to equip the local professionals with the skills to provide high-quality legal advice on anti-discrimination, to further the correct application of anti-discrimination principles and to combat discrimination in Moldova. As a result, the training bore a pronounced emphasis on practical aspects, providing a plethora of illustrative examples from the ECHR and Romanian practice, as well as case simulations. In addition, the participants reflected on the specific procedures before the authorities and the necessary documentation in anti-discrimination cases.

Diana looks forward to providing pro bono legal advice and representation in the field of anti-discrimination.
