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.

Event Description

What will it take to end violence against women? This critical conversation brings together leaders from Black Women’s Blueprint and Men Stopping Violence – U.S. organizations that work across borders, genders, and movements – to reimagine models for violence prevention.

This event, sponsored by WomenStrong International, aims to:
1. Reimagine violence prevention through an expansion of existing models.
2. Advance a robust dialogue about the dominant story of masculinity and its consequences for men, women, and all genders.
3. Create space for communities to deliberate and decide the nature of accountability.

Speakers will discuss lessons that guide their work, share concrete examples and models, and create space to envision a new way of approaching anti-violence work.

With:
Farah Tanis, Executive Director, Black Women's Blueprint
Sevonna Brown, Co-Executive Director, Black Women's Blueprint
Lee Giordano, Director of Training, Men Stopping Violence
Ulester Douglas, Associate Director, Men Stopping Violence
