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.

To prevent and respond to violence against women and girls and ensure their access to quality services, UN Women Multi Country Office for the Maghreb supports national and local authorities in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia in their efforts to develop and implement laws and strategies in line with international standards. The MCO also supports capacity-development of gender equality advocates and coordinates awareness campaigns on EVAW in the Maghreb.

In addition, the MCO works with national partners to promote the leadership and political participation of women. UN Women Maghreb supports women parliamentarians to effectively influence governments for the adoption of legislations, strategies and policies that promote gender equality and women’s empowerment, and for the translation of Constitutional provisions into organic and ordinary laws. Gender equality advocates and their organizations can also count on the MCO’s support for their advocacy initiatives to promote women’s leadership and political participation, including through quotas.

The MCO supports the development and implementation of gender-sensitive strategies and public policies. It fosters the production and dissemination of accurate sex-disaggregated and gender-based data to strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of progress in terms of gender equality, women's empowerment and the achievement of SDGs. Another important focus of the MCO consists of improving the entrepreneurial capacities of women, with the goal to enhance their sustainable livelihoods and resilience though securing their access to, control over and use of productive resources.
