UN Women is calling for proposals for Protecting and Empowering Women and Girls in Yemen to support the ongoing international response to the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, now compounded by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, by promoting self-reliance for displaced and vulnerable women in areas affected by the conflict through livelihoods and protection interventions.
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.
The project will be implemented in selected communities in Aden and Taizz. This call consists of two components: one Protection and one Livelihoods component. Proposals need to showcase how both components will be connected and integrated into a comprehensive approach.
The selected partners will be responsible for providing quality communications material (interviews, articles, photos, videos etc.) and efforts to promote donor visibility in close consultation with UN Women. The partners for the women’s centers need to include proposed activities at the centers for relevant international days including International Women’s Day and the 16 days of activism against gender based violence campaign.
