Deadline: 30-Jul-21
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Women is pleased to announce the Improved Safety of Women in Serbia Program to prevent and combate violence against women and domestic violence.
The project builds on the strong links of UN Women with women’s CSOs in the country. CSOs in particular women’s organizations, play a crucial role in the promotion of gender equality and women’s rights.
They are key advocacy stakeholders in terms of moving governments from commitment to implementation in relation to international normative standards.
They are also key stakeholders in the provision of services that are essential to the establishment of multi-sectoral and coordinated mechanisms to adequately respond to the needs of victims of violence.
Furthermore, women’s organizations are key stakeholders in ensuring that the perspectives and voices of the most excluded and discriminated-against groups of women are heard by policy makers.
The project will target women’s CSOs and support them to implement context-specific outreach activities to inform rural women of the available and accessible mechanisms for protection from VAWG and gender-based discrimination.
In this regard, the chosen CSO is expected to undertake activities under the following indicators:
- Number of rural women reached by innovative outreach programs and awareness-raising activities and informed about protection mechanisms related to VAWG, gender-based discrimination and stereo types.
- Number of women’s CSOs supported by project to implement outreach programs to rural women and girls.
