Background |
|||||||||||||||
Maldives graduated from the Least Developed Country status in 2011 and is now considered a middle-income country; however, with various factors such as the geographical dispersion, weak implementation of the local governance system and inequal distribution of resources, those residing in the outer islands have continued to face challenges and remains marginalized and excluded from society. Furthermore, an increasing number of people have migrated to Greater Male’ area to access better quality education and employment opportunities resulting in a larger disparity between the capital Male’ and the atolls and has led to a plethora of new development issues. The increase in geographical inequality has further marginalised women, particularly young women in the atolls who are eager to work for their livelihood but are often faced with limited opportunities to do so. In a country where sexual and gender-based violence is highly prevalent, with 1 in 3 women between ages of 15-49 having experienced some kind of physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lifetime[1], the increase in women’s financial dependence on their male family members/spouses greatly increases their risk of facing violence in the future. Moreover, high levels of gender inequality and gender-based violence in the country have also been found to be an indicator for increased vulnerability to political violence and the use of more severe forms of violence in conflict [2]. Due to the gendered underpinnings usually associated with violence, the promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment in itself serves as a direct countermeasure and places women at the forefront of leading the change and shaping communities. Prevention efforts then need to focus on women’s experiences and their participation in political, social and economic life. Results of such programmes have recognized the impact of women, particularly the role of mothers in ensuring social cohesion within their families and the overall community. Armed with knowledge and skills, mothers have banded together to form support groups tackling instances of violence and cultivating a spirit of peace and tolerance in their communities. UNDP Maldives through the Integrated Governance Programme (IGP) has been working to establish peaceful and tolerant communities and is seeking the service of an international consultant to undertake an assessment to identify the best model of engagement with mothers in the peacebuilding process.
