UN Women plans to engage with civil society organizations to design and implement interventions under the joint programme “Promoting the Rule of Law in Palestine – SAWASYA II”.
Building on the achievements and the lessons learned of Sawasya, and based on consultations with national partners, other UN agencies and ING0s, UN Women UNDP and UNICEF developed the programme “Promoting Rule of Law in Palestine “that will work jointly towards enhancing access to justice to all Palestinians, particularly the most marginalized groups, including women and children. This will be achieved through ensuring the provision of gender-responsive legislations, policies and service delivery all across the security and justice chain, and the empowerment of women as beneficiaries of services and decision-makers.
The joint programme’s overall goal is “a functioning and inclusive State of Palestine that respects, protects and fulfils people’s human rights, and promotes development, peace and security.
The programme targets the Justice, Security and Social institutions, including decision and policymakers, front line service providers, Gender Units, Human rights departments, planning and policy departments, in addition to top and middle management within these institutes. The programme also targets civil society organizations, including coalitions to work on gender justice-related issues, notably advocacy and awareness, provision of essential services to women victims and survivors of violence and women in conflict with the law.
