The UN Women is accepting applications to identify a local implementing Civil Society Organizations (CSO) to develop and implement an elective university course on family wellbeing that promotes gender equitable parenting.

The overall goal of this regional programme is that more women and girls across the MENA region benefit from the transformation of patriarchal masculinities and social norms that is achieved using the caregiving and household responsibilities of men and boys as entry point.

Interventions

  • Conduct a gender review of the targeted Jordanian universities involved in the project (at least three public universities)

By encouraging young men to actively participate in caregiving and household responsibilities, and to encourage young women to participate in the labour market, the course seeks to transform patriarchal masculinities and social norms. The course will be held in at least three public universities. The responsible party should have an existing relationship with the universities that they intend to work with.
