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. The provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the political and legal framework guarantee equality between men and women in Kazakhstan in all sectors. The Republic of Kazakhstan adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), joined the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action during the Fourth World Conference for Women (1995) and ratified the main international documents on gender equality and women's rights, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). To further support the consolidated efforts of the government, parliament, women's groups and civil society organizations (NGOs) to fulfill government commitments in the field of gender equality and women's rights, UN Women initiated a joint project with the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the support of National Commission for Women Affairs and Family and Demographic Policy under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (UNSC 1325), unanimously adopted in October 2000, emphasizes the importance of equal participation and full involvement of women in all efforts to maintain and enhance peace and security. Over the years, seven additional resolutions have been adopted on the principles of the empowerment of women. To meet these commitments at the national level, the United Nations has encouraged Member States to adopt national action plans on the Principles for the Empowerment of Women to implement resolutions and monitor progress on the agenda. In this regard, UN Women Kazakhstan plans to hire a national consultant who will provide support in the preparation and implementation of the activities of this assignment and the development of specific recommendations.
