Evaluation of UN Women’s Work on the Care Economy in East and Southern Africa 

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.

An analysis of the “soft life” conversation as it emerges on social media, unpacking how aspirations for ease and rest intersect with broader socio-economic structures, gendered labour expectations, and notions of dignity and justice

This article focused on the story of community living in a wildlife corridor that links India and Nepal, namely the Khata Corridor, which bridges Bardiya National Park of Nepal and Katarnia Wildlife Sanctuary of Uttar Pradesh, India.
This article revealed how the wildlife mobility in the corridor affects community livelihoods, mobility, and social inclusion, with a sense of differential impacts on farming and marginalised communities.

Event Description

lease join us on October 17, 2016 from 1530-1700 (Geneva Time) / 9:30-11:00 (Washington Time) for a webinar discussion on Providing an integrated SRHR/HIV health sector response to violence against women and girls.

 

In support of the implementation of the Global plan of action to strengthen the role of the health system within a national multisectoral response to address interpersonal violence, in particular against women and girls and against children, WHO convenes this webinar exploring how to provide an integrated SRHR/HIV health sector response to violence against women and girls.

 

With one in three women globally experiencing intimate partner violence and/or sexual violence by a non-partner, the “Global plan of action to strengthen the role of the health system within a national multisectoral response to address interpersonal violence, in particular against women and girls and against children” (http://www.who.int/topics/violence/UNFPA-GAP2-violence.pdf)  provides a strong mandate to address violence against women and girls as a global and urgent public health problem.

 

The plan provides guidance for Ministries of Health to accelerate the implementation of the health sector’s contribution to end violence against women and girls. Further, the plan contributes towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals including Goal 5 (Achieve Gender Equality and Empower All Women and Girls) and Goal 16 (Promote Peace, Justice and Inclusive Societies), as well as Goal 3 (ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages). It will also contribute to reaching the objectives of the new Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s, and Adolescents’ Health.
