Background |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
UN Women, the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women has been created to accelerate up the process of meeting the needs of women and girls across the world. UN Women supports UN Member States as they set global standards for achieving gender equality and works with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programmes and services needed to ensure that the standards are effectively implemented and truly benefit women and girls worldwide. It works globally to make the vision of the Sustainable Development Goals a reality for women and girls and stands behind women’s equal participation in all aspects of life. This gender inequality fuels the high levels of violence against women and girls (VAWG), which remains one of the widespread human rights abuses in Tajikistan. Violence against women in Tajikistan is pervasive, and a large proportion of married women throughout Tajikistan report experiencing spousal violence. In addition, the magnitude of violence against women and children is underestimated, partially because prevalence estimates come from administrative data used by health or justice systems and partly because of the widespread beliefs that lead many people to see violence as a norm rather than a problem demanding attention. Exact figures are not available due to the lack of a centralized data collection system, and a lack of disaggregated data designating the relationship of the perpetrator to the survivors of violence. Inconsistent and uncoordinated methods of data collection and insufficiently detailed publicly accessible data on incidents and causes of domestic violence make it difficult to establish a baseline against which to measure progress in protection and prevention of domestic violence and assess which policies are effective and worth pursuing. The Joint Spotlight Initiative (SI) (EU/UN) brings the resources to leverage the increasing political will to strengthen institutions and to engage civil society to significantly increase and expand on the EVAWG efforts done to date. Building on European Union’s (EU) “commitment to gender equality, human rights, the empowerment of women and girls and the eradication of gender-based violence” it will contribute to a new way of collaborating to fill important legal gaps and institutional needs and change the norms and perceptions that will address root causes of VAWG and prevent it, while supporting women and girls - survivors of violence, in a holistic and impact-oriented manner. Through interventions of SI’s Component 5 “Data”, service providers, including NGOs/NGOs and women’s rights advocates, will have strengthened capacities to regularly collect data related to VAWG in line with international standards. This means that data collected will be disaggregated by type of violence, perpetrator, categories of violence against women and girls; disaggregation by sex, age and relationship between victim and perpetrator, ethnicity of the survivors of violence, and the number of complaints received, legal and other types of aid rendered, and sentence imposed on perpetrators will be registered. The prevalence and incidence data on VAWG will be easy to analyze and be made publicly available to inform evidence-based decision making. UN Women in Tajikistan seeks for National Data Expert on registration of cases of violence against women and girls (DATA EXPERT on VAW REGISTRATION) (further- Consultant). In his/her assignment the expert will be supported by IT Data Specialist to be also hired by UN Women. Objective The objective of this assignment is to strengthen the capacity of women's rights NGOs to collect incidence data, including qualitative data, on VAWG for evidence-based monitoring and reporting.
