 Country Narrative - Romania
Romania is a source and transit country for women and girls trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Romania increased its anti-trafficking law enforcement efforts and took steps to improve government coordination of anti-trafficking efforts by creating the National Agency for the Prevention of Trafficking in late 2005; it will receive funding from the national budget and have authority to direct other agencies to act on anti-trafficking initiatives.
Victims were entitled to medical, legal, and social assistance, although the quality of the care and facilities provided was inconsistent among the various state-run shelters, and funding issues prompted the closure and reopening of several of the shelters during the reporting period.

There is no clear restriction upon the population of a commune, even though when a commune becomes relatively urbanised and exceeds approximately 10,000 inhabitants, it is granted city-status (even though cities are on the same tertiary administrative level as communes, they do have a more powerful form of local government).
A commune is made up of a one or more villages, even though villages do not have an administrative function (that is, they do not have any form of local administration but rather have a status similar to suburbs of towns in countries like the United Kingdom).

There are problems here, mainly those caused by the country's painful transition from the Communist dictatorship of the brutal Nicolae Ceausescu to a market economy and liberal democracy.
