||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
UN Women is the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. A global champion for women and girls. The entity was established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide. 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, focusing on four strategic priorities:
UN Women also coordinates and promotes the UN system’s work in advancing gender equality, and in all deliberations and agreements linked to the 2030 Agenda. The organization works to position gender equality as fundamental to the Sustainable Development Goals, and a more inclusive world. The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) and the International Labor Organization (ILO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection (MGCSP) want to support the Ministry of Labor (MoL) to conduct a gender audit of its Labor Practices Law (LPL) to help generate evidence on its gender-responsive implementation. The audit will provide MoL and its stakeholders with information on the achievements, lessons learned, best practices, and challenges as it relates to the implementation of the LPL. It will also provide information on the extent to which the LPL promotes equal opportunities for people to obtain decent work. The audit’s overall goal is to identify gender related existing and emerging challenges and opportunities in the implementation of the LPL and its impact, especially focusing on lessons learned and accountability, through an inclusive and participatory process. Considering the above, UN Women Liberia is seeking a National Consultant to support with conducting and reporting on the gender audit of MoL’s LPL.
