Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
Under the UN Women project “Promoting Gender Equality in Cahul and Ungheni Districts”, the NGO AZI from Cahul, supported by the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, has produced a monitoring report on women's involvement in decision-making in Cahul municipality, intended as a basis for gender-sensitive local policies.
The study examines women's role in local public authorities, their participation in public consultations and in the local budget and decision-making process, and ways to improve it. It draws on the city hall's website and data, participation lists from the 2020 and 2022 public hearings, and data from the Cahul District Council. An online questionnaire received only 15 responses, so it is not representative.
According to the 2014 Census, Cahul had 30,018 residents: women accounted for 53.5% (16,067) and men for 46.5% (13,951). About three quarters of the population are of working age, children up to 14 make up 15.3% and people over 65 account for 10%. The project is funded by the European Union.
