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. UN Women’s goal in Timor-Leste is to promote women’s human rights and gender equality as the country works towards sustaining and furthering achievements in stability and development. In this regard, its programming in the country is connected to two corporate priority areas: enhancing women’s economic empowerment (WEE), and engaging women in all aspects of peace and security processes (WPS), supported by integrated efforts to ensure gender-sensitive plans and budgets and women’s right to live free of violence. UN Women also coordinates and promotes the UN system’s joint work in advancing gender equality. To address the global challenges of VAWG, the UN Family (through UN Women, UNDP, UNFPA and IOM) are collaborating with KOICA and the Government of Timor-Leste to support efforts to end violence against women and girls. Through the Joint UN Project Together for Equality: Preventing and Responding to Gender-Based Violence in Timor-Leste (2020-2024), the United Nations has a goal for women and girls in Timor-Leste to be empowered to enjoy their right to live free of sexual harassment and other forms of violence in public and private spaces and to access quality essential services, in line with the SDGs. As part of its efforts to prevent violence before it begins, promotion of gender-equitable norms and healthy and respectful relationships will be an important part of the programme. About Safe Baucau and Safe Markets Initiative In line with UN Women’s global flagship, Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces Programme, UN Women Timor-Leste Country Office has collaborated with government and non-governmental organisations since 2017 to initiate steps in supporting local stakeholders to develop a locally-owned programme that addresses sexual harassment and other forms of sexual violence against women and girls in public spaces. In supporting the Timor Leste government commitment to promoting safe cities and safe public spaces, in 2019, UN Women partnered with TOMAK (To'os ba Moris Di'ak, or Farming for or Farming for Prosperity) conducted “Gender Marketplace Assessment” conducted in two markets in Baucau (Venilale and Kota Lama). The Assessment highlighted that vendor have limited access to social protection systems, public assistance, and sustainable infrastructure. These conditions lead to insecure environments placing vendors at risk of sexual harassment and assault. Following the assessment’s recommendations, the Memorandum of Understanding between UN Women- Baucau Municipal Authority (BMA) Collaboration 2021-2024: Strengthening Municipal Administration and Local Governance through Gender Equality and Zero Tolerance of Sexual Harassment in Public Spaces signed on 11 November 2021. The MoU defined areas for the collaboration on four areas.
