E/C.12/MDA/CO/2 assistance benefits are even lower. The Committee is furthermore concerned that the criteria for poverty assessment for social aid do not adequately represent the poverty levels, resulting in cash benefits that are well below the subsistence minimum (art. 9). The Committee recommends that pension levels be increased to a level that allows for an adequate standard of living, and, as a first step, reach the minimum subsistence level. The Committee also recommends that social aid benefits be calculated based on an accurate poverty assessment and allow for families to enjoy an adequate standard of living. 13. The Committee is concerned that the State party continues to be a country of origin and transit for trafficking in persons, and that the prosecution rate of offenders is very low, given the extent of the problem. It is also concerned about the lack of recovery, social integration and counselling services for victims of trafficking (art. 10). The Committee recommends that the State party ensure prosecution for traffickers, with sentences commensurate to the gravity of the crime of trafficking, as well as protection for victims of human trafficking in criminal proceedings, and adequate support for victims through recovery and counselling measures. 14. The Committee remains concerned about the widespread violence against women, including domestic violence, the limited number and capacity of shelters for victims of domestic violence, and the insufficiency of police protection for victims, as well as the protracted procedure for the issuing of court protection orders (art. 10). The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that the police act promptly and effectively in all cases of domestic violence, and that court protection orders are issued within the legally defined time limit of 24 hours. It recommends that the State party expand the number, coverage and capacity of shelters for victims of domestic violence. The Committee also recommends that the State party conduct extensive awareness-raising activities on domestic violence for police officers, prosecutors, judges, social workers and the general public. 15. The Committee is extremely concerned that, despite the reform of the residential care system for children of 2007, the rate of institutionalization of children remains very high. The Committee is concerned that the reform has made almost no impact on children with disabilities in institutions, who represent over 50 per cent of the total of institutionalized children, and that services to reintegrate these children back into families, schools and communities are lacking (art. 10). The Committee strongly recommends that the State party ensure the full implementation of the reform of the residential care system for children, focusing especially on the re-integration of children with disabilities. It strongly urges the State party to ensure the prevention of the separation of children from their families, and the re-integration of de-institutionalized children, including those with disabilities, through adequate family substitute and family support services as well as community-based services. The Committee requests the State party to include disaggregated data, by year, on progress made in the reintegration of children, with a special focus on children with disabilities, in its next periodic report. 16. The Committee is concerned about the absence of measures taken to mitigate the effects of migration of parents on children staying behind. The Committee is also concerned that the State party does not ensure adequate measures of social and 4
