  9. Mapping the situation of CLB in Moldova, Romania and Ukraine Researchcarried out in November and December 2018 Methodology: desk research, key informant interviews, focus groups withchildren, parents, care-givers Focus: • Review of economic and social framework in MD-RO-UA • Similarities and differencesbetween MD-RO-UA with regards to issues of CLB • Government and Civil Society support • Perspectives of stakeholders

  10. Perspectives of stakeholders “I want to hear I love you in person, not on the phone” “Last time my parents told me that they will be leaving in three days I thought they were joking. But then they left, and it wasn’t a joke anymore…” “Mom, I need you so badly sometimes. I miss you. I don’t need money, clothes. I need you.” “Nobody would leave home if the situation would be good.” “We have in average 20 children per class. In each class there are 3–5 children left behind. Often the departure of the parents is marking the end of their carefree childhood‘’.
