Background

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

The Country Programme Division under the leadership of the Deputy Country Representative manages the Programme support to Ethiopia, including Joint Programs. In its work for 2017-2021, UN Women ECO is focusing on four main development result areas: 1) Women supported to lead and participate in decision-making at all levels; 2) Women, especially the poorest and most excluded, are economically empowered and benefit from development; 3) Women and girls live a life free from violence; and 4) Governance and national planning fully reflect accountability for gender equality commitments and priorities. One of the priorities Programme of UN Women ECO is Ending Violence against Women and Girls (EVAWG). In this area, UN Women works with key partners from government, civil society and UN organizations in development and humanitarian settings to address legal gaps and strengthen policy frameworks with regard to protecting women survivors of violence and their rights; to expand the provision of legal and protection services to women; to provide awareness and raising initiatives on legal instruments, mechanisms and sexual and gender based violence.

From 2019, UN Women Ethiopia is piloting two safe city and safe public spaces projects in Addis Ababa and Hawassa as part of UN Women’s Safe Cities and Safe Public Places for Women and Girls Global Flagship Initiative. Through the Programme, each participating city aims to create safe and empowering public spaces for women and girls free from sexual harassment (SH) and other forms of sexual violence against women and girls (SVAWG). Through a comprehensive human rights and evidence-based approach, cities develop practical solutions in four main action areas;ensuring that locally relevant and owned solutions are identified, strengthening laws and policies, investing in the safety and economic viability of public spaces, and fostering transformative social norms that promote women and girls’ rights to use public spaces free from Sexual Harassment and other forms of sexual violence (SV).
