Ecaterina Figurina

Ecaterina Figurina serves as the interim director of the 'Drumul spre casă' placement center for at-risk children in Bălți, Moldova. She was recently in the news for refusing to grant access to the Ombudsman for Children's Rights during a monitoring visit related to a reported sexual abuse case involving a minor at her facility. Her actions, which included locking the center's doors and failing to present requested documentation, raised significant concerns regarding the safety and rights of the children in her care, prompting legal scrutiny and investigations.
