Background
I.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 UN Women Myanmar Country Office is based in Yangon, with offices in the capital Naypyitaw as well as in Mon, Kachin and Rakhine States. Under its Strategic Note 2019-2021, UN Women Myanmar focuses on delivering on the following interlinked programme areas underpinned by support for intergovernmental and normative processes:
- Women’s Leadership and Gender Responsive Governance
- Women’s Economic Empowerment
- Women, Peace and Security and Gender in Humanitarian Action and Disaster Risk Reduction.
The “Safe and Fair: Realizing Women Migrant Workers’ Rights and Opportunities in the ASEAN Region (2018-2022)” is part of the European Union-United Nations (EU-UN) Spotlight Initiative to eliminate violence against women and girls. Safe and Fair (the Programme) is implemented through a partnership between the ILO and UN Women (in collaboration with UNODC) with the overriding objective of ensuring that labour migration is safe and fair for all women in the ASEAN region.
The Programme aims to address women workers’ vulnerabilities to violence and trafficking, strengthen rights-based and gender-responsive approaches to violence against women and labour migration governance and support access to essential services by:
- Improving the frameworks that govern labour migration and ending violence against women;
- Improving access to information and services for women migrant workers and opportunities for them to network and organise;
- Producing data and evidence on the experiences of women migrant workers; and
- Campaigning to generate a better understanding of the contribution of women migrants.
The study “Violence and Harassment against Women and Men in the World of Work (2017)” from ILO states that 8 out of 10 women migrant workers migrating from Myanmar to Thailand reported having experienced violence during their migration experience. Myanmar women migrants are exposed to violence and discrimination based on intersecting forms of discrimination. Vulnerability to risk can often begin in Myanmar, especially when women have limited access to the information, skills, financial literacy and opportunities they would need to be able to engage with fair and regular migration options.
A varied number of service providers in Myanmar serve to meet the needs of women migrant workers, including public service providers, embassies or consular offices, employers, trade unions, migrant worker resource centres, civil society organisations, faith-based organisations and community based networks of women migrant workers. Service providers and stakeholders can benefit from a more coordinated response and strengthened referral processes to ensure that service delivery to women migrant workers in a way that is gender-responsive and sensitive to their unique needs and circumstances.
II.Purpose of the consultancy
Within the described context, the Safe and Fair programme is seeking to recruit a consultant to develop a comprehensive service directory of available services for women migrant workers, survivors of sexual and gender-based violence in Myanmar.
