The study “Perceptions and Attitudes on the Role of Women in Peace and Security Processes in the Republic of Moldova” aims at analysing perceptions and attitudes regarding the role of women in peace and security processes in the Republic of Moldova, with a focus on identifying the main barriers and stereotypes that hinder their full integration into the security sector. The document will examine societal attitudes towards women’s participation in these areas. In the context of the war in Ukraine, it will analyse public perceptions of the conflict, the acceptance of refugees and the impact of the war on social cohesion, and propose recommendations for policy makers and stakeholders in the security and defence sector to promote more effectively gender inclusion, eliminate stereotypes and strengthen social resilience in times of conflict.
