Based on the census conducted in 2004, 37% of women have been employed, while 19% were unemployed. Retired women were at 35%. [1]

Although still a country with limited recognition internationally, and although Freedom in the World 2012 had described that "[w]omen are underrepresented in most positions of authority", the current Transnistrian government includes 8 women and 6 men. Prime Minister of Transnistria (Tatiana Turanskaya) and 3 Deputy Prime Ministers out of 4 are also women (Natalia Nikiforova, Nina Shtanski and Maija Parnas). Women are widely presented in Presidential Administration of Transnistria: both the head of Administration (Nadezhda Baranova) [2] and all the 5 presidential advisors (Alyona Klyus, Nadezhda Zablotskaya, Natalia Garbar, Anna Yanchuk and Galina Sandutsa) [3] are women.
Women are somewhat underrepresented as heads of State Administrations of cities and districts ( raions ) of Transnistria (only Rybnitsa district is headed by a woman), but are widely presented on posts of deputy heads of State Administrations. Currently 2 deputies out of 5 [4] in Tiraspol administration, 2 out of 2 [5] in Bendery administration, 2 out of 3 [6] in Rybnitsa administration, 2 out of 3 [7] in Dubăsari administration, 2 out of 3 [8] in Grigoriopol administration and 2 out of 2 [9] in Camenca administration are women.
Some women of Transnistria, including minors, have become victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, and prostitution, [10] which are three of the major problems in the country. [11] Most often, trafficked Transnistrian women and girls are brought to Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. [11]
