Background |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
UN Women, the United Nations entity for gender equality and the empowerment of women, was created to accelerate progress towards the fulfillment of their rights around the world. UN Women assists UN member states in setting international norms and standards for achieving gender equality and works with governments and civil society to develop laws, policies, programs, and services needed to implement these standards. UN Women actively promotes the equal participation of women in all spheres of life, focusing on five priority areas of action: strengthening women's leadership and participation in society; elimination of violence against women; involvement of women in solving the whole range of issues of ensuring peace and security; empowering women in the economy; ensuring the central role of gender equality in national development planning and budgeting processes. UN Women also coordinates work to promote gender equality throughout the UN system. "UN Women", in collaboration with the National Commission on Women's Affairs and Family and Demographic Policy under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as the National Commission) and the Ministry of Information and Public Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry), is implementing the associated grant "Assisting Kazakhstan in the implementation of the Concept of Family and Gender Policy, in terms of ensuring gender equality and expanding the rights and opportunities of all women and girls in Kazakhstan and overcoming the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis." Within the framework of this tied grant, technical and expert support is planned for family support centers, family conflict resolution, and providing temporary residence for women with children. In accordance with item 30 of the Action Plan for the implementation of the Concept of Family and Gender Policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2030 (Presidential Decree of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated April 1, 2022, No. 853), Centers for Family Support will be established, resolving family conflicts with the provision of temporary residence for women who have children. At present, 68 Family Support Centers are operating in the regions. 36 of them operate under the administration of the local executive authorities' social protection departments. The centers provide a comprehensive range of advisory services: they offer psychological, social, and legal assistance, as well as all-round support aimed at strengthening the family institution. All centers are financed from local budget funds, and the coordination of the work on the establishment of centers is carried out by the Ministry. Currently, depending on the region, there are differences in the approaches to the establishment of family support centers. Family Support Centers differ in organizational and legal form, material and technical base, staff preparedness, and financing volume. It is expected that the international consultant will assess the family support centers, taking into account international experience, and will develop a Development Concept, recommendations, regulations, and a service provision standard for the further development of the family support centers.
