Background |
|
Background: UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination and violence 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 supports UN Member States as they set global standards for achieving gender equality, and work with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programs and services needed to implement these standards. UN Women Egypt Country Office is based in Cairo and works in the three priority areas: Leadership and Political Participation; Economic Empowerment; and Ending Violence Against Women (EVAW). Although Egypt has ratified the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) (1981), with reservations, and despite constitutional equality guarantees, persistent gaps remain between formal equality rights and women’s lived realities. Egypt ranks 134/144 on the Global Gender Gap Index, reflecting high levels of gender inequality in the sub-indicators of economic participation and opportunity and political empowerment. There are also persistent challenges related to discriminatory social norms and violence against women and girls (VAWG) that pose a significant obstacle to the inclusive and sustainable development of Egypt and the fulfilment of women’s human rights. Women and girls are subjected to different forms of violence, including intimate partner violence, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation/cutting. Within the community setting, women and girls also face sexual harassment and trafficking. Although violence in the private domain is now widely recognized as a human rights violation, violence against women and girls, especially the issue of sexual harassment in public spaces remains a largely neglected issue, often tolerated because it’s perceived as a ‘normal’ part of social life, with few laws, policies or programmes in place to effectively prevent and address it. In November 2010, UN Women launched the “Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces” Global flagship in partnership with AECID, UN-Habitat, leading women’s organizations, and over 50 global and local partners in five pilot cities Quito (Ecuador), New Delhi (India), Kigali (Rwanda), Port Moresby (Papua New Guinea) and Cairo (Egypt). It is the first-ever global effort to develop, implement, and evaluate tools, policies, and comprehensive approaches to prevent and respond to sexual harassment and other forms of violence against women and girls in public spaces across different settings. The implementation of the Global Programme in Cairo, in partnership with the National Council for Women, was successful in tackling those issues and contributed to putting the problem of sexual harassment and other forms of violence against women in public spaces at the forefront of the local public policy agenda. In 2019, the second phase of the “Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces” in Egypt was launched in Alexandria and Damietta, with the support of the Embassy of Netherlands, expanding the geographical intervention areas of the programme and reaching to more women and girls. The main objectives of the second phase are centred around three key outcomes: 1) Gender-responsive locally relevant and owned interventions identified: Local ownership is the cornerstone for this flagship, 2) Investments in the safety and economic viability of public spaces: including public infrastructure and economic development and with special concern for creating economic opportunities for women in the renewed public spaces, 3) Social and cultural transformation – to ensure that attitudes and behaviours related to women’s and girls’ rights to enjoy public spaces free from SV improved. Expected Impact Level Results in the Safe City Sites of Intervention include:
Development Objective: The assignment will contribute to outcome 4 of UN Women’s Strategic Plan “All women and girls live a life free from all forms of violence”. It will also respond to outcome 1 of the global flagship by developing the programme’s baseline. Objective of the Assignment: UN Women seeks to recruit a qualified national statistician to conduct the Baseline Study of the Safe Cities programme in Alexandria and Damietta. The programme relies on a number of strategies to maximize the effectiveness of its interventions. It aims to reach over 1800 women. The interventions include community-based participation, media and policy-oriented advocacy, awareness-raising activities, capacity development and south-south collaboration. The programme focuses on a community-based framework that ensures the voices of right holders are heard, while also reaching out to duty bearers. The preparatory work with the stakeholders has been implemented and the work with the beneficiaries is soon to be implemented in the next phase of the programme. The programme is implemented in partnership with the National Council for Women and in close coordination with Alexandria and Damietta governorates. The baseline targets community members (women, men, youth, girls, and boys), national partners, local active CSOs and other stakeholders. An evaluation team is now being established to design and conduct this baseline study, expected to be led by an independent Team Leader and supported by a National Statistician. It is a priority for UN Women that the baseline evaluation will be based on gender-sensitive, inclusive and human rights approaches, as defined in the UN Women Evaluation Policy and adhere to the UN norms and standards for evaluation in the UN System. The Baseline methodology will employ mixed methods and an innovative approach for capturing results, to ensure that the views of a diverse group of participants are represented throughout the process and will actively support the achievement of gender equality and women’s empowerment. It will adhere to UN Women’s Evaluation Policy and UNEG Norms and Standards [1] and Ethical Guidelines [2].

He/she should build on the lessons learnt and recommendations from the baseline of the first phase implemented in Cairo and Giza.
