Background |
|
Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, UN Women 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. Placing women's rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women will lead and coordinate United Nations System efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It will provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States' priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. The scope of work of the Peace and Security Adviser who will be based in UN Women’s Regional Office for the Americas and the Caribbean in Panama, requires experience and in-depth understanding of gender equality, peace and security issues, and citizen security issues to translate UN Women's strategic plans in the area of Peace and Security into effective programmes and results. It also requires developing mutually reinforcing partnerships with relevant Government counterparts, UN organizations, and CSOs in the region. Under the supervision of the Regional Director, and in close collaboration with the Chief Adviser, Peace and Security (HQ), the Peace and Security Adviser is expected to engage proactively with local and regional women leaders, UN Entities (including relevant Divisions, Sections, and Country Offices within UN Women) and regional and subregional bodies to ensure gender issues are addressed on efforts related to citizen security, peace-making, peacekeeping and peace building including formal mediation processes with UN’s involvement, transitional justice mechanisms, security and justice sector reform processes, humanitarian initiatives, disaster response, issues of displacement and other consequences of conflict providing support or facilitating and coordinating donors initiative among other relevant issues in the region.

Note: In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment. |
