Deadline: 20 April 2018
The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) is inviting women’s rights organizations, civil society organizations (CSOs) with expertise on research on ending violence against women and/or gender equality, research institutions and/or study centers to conduct an action-oriented advocacy research to inform key stakeholders efforts to end gender-based discrimination and violence against women in the Western Balkans and Turkey.
The action-oriented research will inform the programme’s work on enabling a normative environment in line with international and regional standards on eliminating violence against women and other forms of discrimination; and on empowering women who have experienced discrimination or violence to advocate for and use available, accessible, and quality services. More particularly the study report will contribute to foster CSOs capacities in reviewing the implementation of national laws, and to assess the application of national laws in line with broader domestic legislation and relevant regional and international standards; and inform the provision of general and support services to survivors of violence, particularly in the justice sector field, and for improved case management. Ultimately the report will assist state authorities and European institutions in their efforts to end violence against women.
