Teema: collaboration request Tdh Moldova
Dear Mrs. Riisalo,
My name is Teodora Rebeja and I am a Programm manager in Terre des hommes
Moldova (Tdh Moldova). I am writing to express our interest in
collaborating with the institution you represent.
Terre des hommes (Tdh) is the leading Swiss organization for childrens
aid. Tdh contributes to ensure a better future for disadvantaged children
and the communities they come from, adopting an innovative approach and
applying practical, sustainable solutions.
In the Republic of Moldova, Tdh has been active since 2004 and is totally
dedicated to the implementation of children's rights, being an
indispensable participant in the improvement of the country's child
protection system. One of the priority areas of Tdh Moldova is Access to
Justice for Children, the goal being: to reduce discrimination and
mistreatment of children during their contact with the Moldovan justice
system, and strengthening the juvenile delinquency prevention system, as
well as creating programs and services for children in conflict with the
law.
At the moment, Tdh Moldova, in partnership with UNICEF, initiated the
implementation of a project which aims at providing support to the
justice and protection system of the Republic of Moldova to improve the
normative framework for the protection of children in conflict with the
law under the age of criminal liability. More precisely, a Working group
within the Moldovan Ministry of Labor and Social Protection is to develop
a methodology of integrated services to be available for children who
commit crimes under the minimum age of criminal liability. Currently,
this category of children is not provided with sufficient support and
care in a coordinated manner. Thus, before initiating the drafting process
of the policy document, Tdh undertook to provide the Working Group with an
illustration of best practices in a country with a well[1]functioning
mechanism on how to approach and handle juvenile delinquency below the
age of criminal liability.
We are impressed about the juvenile committees, centers for children at
risk, social care institutions and shelters, but also the palette of
services and programs that your country has developed during the years
both in the social care system and education, and the child friendly
approach of the justice system. Therefore, we would be grateful to have
the possibility to bring representatives of Moldovan state institutions
to meet Estonian counterparts.

Thank you very much in advance,

Our budget would cover a three-day visit and we would appreciate to meet the entire chain of
services available for this category of children – social protection, education, police, prosecution,
probation, prison, Ministry of Justice, a center for children at risk and any other institution
relevant for our purposes (early-mid October).
In the light of the above, we would be grateful if the Ministry of Social Affairs would accept a
meeting with us to explain your approach towards children in conflict with the law under the
age of criminal liability and any contact details of persons and/or institutions that we could
further meet.
Thank you very much in advance and please accept the assurance of our highest consideration.
Respectfully yours,
