A regional study of gender equality observatories in West and Central Africa, carried out by Claudy Vouhé for UN Women
Sources: UN Women
This regional study offers an inventory and analysis of the legal framework of gender observatories, their attributions, functions and missions. It is based on exchanges with 21 countries, in particular the eleven countries that have created observatories. It compares the internal organisation and budgets of the observatories between countries, looks at operational practices, in particular the degree of involvement in the collection and use of data, and identifies obstacles and good practices in terms of influencing pro-gender equality public policies. Finally, the study draws up a list of strategic recommendations intended for observatories, supervisory bodies and technical and financial partners.

Event Description
COVID-19 has resulted in a shadow pandemic worldwide - that of domestic violence. Yet we do not hear many testimonies of women with disabilities. They are again not visible in official data on violence, or in social discussions of the shadow pandemic. We therefore bring to you the perspective of and on women with disabilities and the violence they are facing in their homes during this very difficult time. Domestic violence has always been an issue, and it will continue in various forms even after COVID 19, but what is important is that we see and recognise it now more urgently than ever.
