My first mission was to translate and make a certain order the recommendations from Amnesty International regarding the National Plan of Actions in the Human Rights Field for 2009-2012.
There were three directions: International Justice- ratification of Roman Statute.
Freedom of Assembly and torture and inhuman treatment.
I translated everything in Romanian and added those points that were missing. After that we went to the Ministry of Justice which elaborates the legal projects in Moldova and had a meeting with several representatives from there. That was an important discussion as we could share our ideas regarding everything we care and they also could express their opinions about the methods of solving them.

Lobbying and Advocacy Program
Being a law student and a volunteer for over 3 years, I started to think that it would be great to improve my practical skills somewhere, in the law sphere. An internship would be a perfect solution for me, that is why I asked Viorel from the office if he could help me with some information.
In couple of hours Viorel called several people and found some opportunities for me. Besides that he mentioned it when talking to Evghenii Golosceapov, our executive director. So I called him and Jenea said that he will start this Lobbying and Advocacy Program for the first time in Moldova, so I had the possibility to participate in it as an intern.
I was really happy and started my work immediately. I had an interview, where Jenea was asking me all kind of stuff about the lobbying methods and what exactly Amnesty International Moldova did for the last years.
This program is typical for EU sections, as long as Moldova is not part of European Community, we couldn't start it. But they made an exception and now the Moldavian section also has the Lobbying and Advocacy Program.
The lobbying group consists of one main Lobbyist- which is a licensed lawyer and several students. The internship is lasting 6 months. But you can stay as long as you want after 6 months. And you have to spend like 20 hours per week for it.
For me that is a great practice. And as I have one more year to study at the university I will finish my studies having some serious experience.
