Help Age International implemented a UN Trust Fund-funded project in Moldova which worked to make older women survivors of gender-based violence feel safer. Through the project, Help Age International provided key recommendations for integrating the needs of older women survivors into the National Strategy on preventing and combating violence against women and violence in the family for 2018-2023 and its Implementation Plan for 2018-2020. In addition, 359 members of 32 district multidisciplinary teams and 26 representatives of Centres for Assistance and Protection received training on preventing, identifying and addressing violence against older women, exceeding targets. An evaluation of the project found that it exceeded its target by nearly threefold, reaching 512 women survivors of violence through individual and group counselling, as well as through diverse outreach activities. In addition, 2,510 older women at risk of violence benefited from different outreach activities and 12,033 women in eight communities benefited from its awareness raising campaigns. The feedback from people who participated in the evaluation process indicated that the project was and remains “highly relevant” and “extremely needed for older women at risk of violence and survivors”.
