The Romanian Constitution (adopted in 1991 and amended in 2003) explicitly prohibits sex discrimination. 

It provides for equality of all citizens before the Law without discrimination based on race, nationality,  ethnic origin, language, religion, sex, opinion, political adherence, property, or social origin (arts. 4 and  16). It also guarantees women and men equal opportunities to access public, civil, or military positions  (art. 16 (3)), as well as the right to equal pay for women and men and the right to social protection (art. 

41), including paid maternity leave (art. 47 (2)). It is important to note that Article 41(4), which stipulates  the principle of equal pay for equal work, is limited in scope, and it only covers salaries, but not other  payments, such as bonuses and benefits. In addition, Article 16(3), the State guarantees equal  opportunities for women and men to access public office, is also limited in scope as it does not provide  for temporary special measures. At the same time, the prohibition of sex-based discrimination does not  apply to gender-based discrimination and the trans community, leaving them without constitutional  safeguards.
