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 Country Programme is implemented within the framework of national development priorities and supports the implementation of the international commitments on women’s human rights, which Brazil is signatory to. The Country Office prioritizes the recovery from COVID-19 pandemic on Brazilian women making it a cross-cutting perspective to all outcome areas and considering race, ethnic, age, and regional perspectives. The three key areas of work of UN Women in Brazil support the achievement of the following three results:
Women are disproportionately affected by the burden of care, since they are expected to perform unpaid care work for their family and their homes and they also compose most of the paid care workers, such as domestic workers and nurses. In Brazil, for instance, women compose 84,6% of all nurses and 92% of all domestic workers – most of them being black and older women. On the unpaid care side, the impact on women is seen by their limited time to focus on other activities, such as participation in public and political life and paid work, thus preventing their equal access to the labour market and affecting their economic empowerment, autonomy and access to social protection throughout their lives (unemployment benefits, disability and old-age pensions, maternity leave, among other benefits). On the paid care side, the workers tend to be underpaid and frequently occupied in the informal sector, which also affects their economic empowerment and access to social protection. The domestic workers, for instance, compose a category of workers with one of the greatest deficits of decent work in the country.
UN Women recognizes the need to design targeted actions in different levels to reward, represent, recognize, reduce, and redistribute care work, paid and unpaid. The Project “Building pathways towards an integrated care system in Belém do Pará: recognizing, redistributing and rewarding care work” is an initiative to support Belém do Pará municipality in building a municipal participatory care system that recognizes the value of paid and unpaid care work, responds to the needs of women and those who require care and promotes a co-responsibility culture in society to realize women’s economic rights and opportunities. The project aims to ensure that women paid care workers and women who undertake unpaid care work have access to decent work, as well as to promote a co-responsibility culture in society and foster women’s economic empowerment. The project, generously founded by the Open Society Foundations, is implemented in the Brazilian state of Belém do Pará.
Under the overall guidance of the Deputy Representative/Head of Programme and reporting to the Coordinator of the Women's Economic Empowerment Area, the Project Manager Level 1 provides effective management of the “Building pathways towards an integrated care system in Belém do Pará: recognizing, redistributing and rewarding care work” project and contributes to the Women Economic Empowerment Portfolio by contributing to the programme design, formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The Project Manager Level 1 supports the delivery of UN Women programmes by analyzing results achieved during implementation and supporting appropriate application of systems and procedures. The Project Manager Level 1 works in close collaboration with the programme and operations team, UN Women HQ staff, Government officials, multi and bi-lateral donors and civil society ensuring successful UN Women programme implementation.
