This is a International Consultant contract. More about International Consultant contracts.

Background

UN Women 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.

Assignment Background:

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread violations of human rights worldwide, globally affecting around almost one in three women in her lifetime. Regional evidence suggests that a similar ratio applies in the Asia-Pacific region. Forms of VAWG may vary, and there are variations across sites, however, current available data indicates that in 2018, 19% of women in South Asia, 9% in Southeast Asia and between 19% and 30% in the Pacific experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence in the past 12 months.

The End Violence against Women unit at UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP) strives to develop a greater degree of common understanding of violence against women and girls and how it could be eliminated through programmes, interventions, and advocacy campaigns. UN Women ROAP emphasizes the prevention of VAWG through transforming negative social norms and strengthening the availability of services to women survivors of violence. UN Women ROAP partners with government, CSOs, academic institutes, feminist and youth leaders, and innovation hubs to advocate for ending violence, increase awareness of the causes and consequences of violence, build capacity of partners, and promote the need for changing norms towards advancing gender equality and women’s rights.

The Generation Equality Action Coalitions are bringing together governments, women’s, feminist and youth-led organizations, international organizations, foundations and businesses to drive change. Through blueprints for action co-created by Action Coalition leaders, they are catalysing collective commitments; sparking global and local conversations between generations and across communities; and driving substantial increases in public and private funding. Through its emphasis on partnerships, the Action Coalition on GBV is mobilizing governments, civil society, international organizations, philanthropies, innovation hubs, and the private sector to deliver transformational progress towards the elimination and prevention of GBV.

In 2020, UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP) and World Design Organization (WDO) launched a World Design Challenge to create a global mobilization of design professionals to brainstorm, research and ideate innovative solutions to the egregious reality of VAWG in Asia and the Pacific. The Challenge inspired designers to contribute to the development of technology-based solutions to promote behavioral change to eliminate VAWG and designed frameworks, products, services, experiences, messages, and tools that can be adapted to various communities. UN Women ROAP and WDO will continue their partnership to mobilize resources and implement the solutions developed during the World Design Challenge.
