#image_title

Deadline: 02-Sep-2024

The European Union and UN Women have partnered to launch a new programme called Advocacy, Coalition Building and Transformative Feminist Action (ACT) to End Violence Against Women.

As part of the Advocacy, Coalition Building and Transformative Feminist Action (ACT) to End Violence Against Women Programme, UN Women is in the process of identifying one or multiple programme partners (Responsible Parties) for the set-up and co-hosting of a new Global ACT CSO Platform. The objective of the platform is to convene women’s rights and civil society organizations working to end violence against women and girls, develop a shared advocacy agenda to increase momentum and amplify advocacy priorities of women’s rights organizations and movements and carry the priority actions related to forthcoming key advocacy moments and opportunities.

The ACT programme is focused on strengthening global and regional advocacy, coalition building and transformative feminist action to EVAW. ACT will be implemented over three years in two regions initially: Africa and Latin America, with a global component to accelerate impact and position the priorities of women’s rights movements in global fora across a wide range of related issues.

It will build on the EU-UN Spotlight Initiative’s results and lessons learned in 26 countries to strengthen women’s rights movements at the regional and global levels and to elevate women’s rights advocacy priorities in regional and global policy making and intergovernmental fora to build greater momentum globally in EVAW.

Its overall objective is to accelerate efforts to eliminate all forms of VAW, with two overarching objectives:

The ACT programme will achieve its results through direct investments in global and regional feminist women’s rights organizations to strengthen their institutional capacities, resilience, coalition building, networking, and leadership. It will also coordinate and amplify a shared advocacy agenda that is designed in collaboration with women’s rights organizations, bringing on board multi-stakeholder partners and new actors to accelerate efforts to end violence against women and girls. ACT will ensure strong connections and engagement with women’s rights movements at the national level to ensure that global and regional level advocacy is informed by grassroots activists as well as to generate impact and results at the country level.
