Deadline: 6 June 2019
UN Women has launched a new call for proposals for interested non-governmental organizations, UN Agencies, academic institutions and registered community-based organisations under the joint programme “HAYA – Eliminating Violence Against Women in West Bank and Gaza”.
This joint programme led by UN Women with the participation of UNFPA, UN Habitat and UNODC addresses the issue of building community justice for women and girls by preventing and combating violence against women. The ultimate outcome of the programme is to reduce vulnerability of women and girls in West Bank and Gaza to all forms of violence against women and from the threat of such violence.
Eliminating violence against women requires interventions on both the side of service providers as well as service users. This will be achieved through supporting reforms to the health and social service sectors’ capacities to be effective and accountable for preventing, mitigating and responding to violence, but also very importantly through changes to the community’s utilization of services and the behaviours and attitudes related to violence against women on the part of all concerned parties.
The Ultimate Outcome of the joint programme is “Reduced Vulnerability of Women and Girls in West Bank & Gaza to all forms of Violence against Women and from the threat of such violence” (Haya).
- Intermediate Outcome 2: Increased access by women and girls to gender-responsive EVAW services (economic, medical, medical-legal psychosocial, security, shelter) free of discrimination.
Under the intermediate outcome the programme will focus on increasing access by women and girls to gender-responsive EVAW services. The major effort will be placed on increasing the ability of women and girls to freely and safely make informed decisions to use EVAW services and also advocate for comprehensive EVAW services. It is also of key importance to further improve service providers’ capacity, including those of shelters to provide improved gender-responsive services of various range for the victims and survivors of violence both in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
