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.

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.

#SheDecidesDay

In less than a week, the world will celebrate #SheDecidesDay on 2 March 2021, a globally recognised day of action to Stand Up and Speak Out in support of girls and women's rights over their bodies, their lives and their future. This year's theme, #TakeYourSeat, is a rallying call for women and girls to take up space and claim their seat at the table, to make their voices heard, and to use them to spark powerful conversations about topics that are silenced through stigma.
Smash the silence and break the stigmas placed on women and girls' bodies through the #TakeYourSeat card game and see where the conversation goes. When we speak out about these issues, we break the cycle of myths and misinformation that deny women and girls their right to decide.

Celebremos el #SheDecidesDay, un día de acción reconocido mundialmente para levantarse y alzar la voz en apoyo de los #derechos de las #niñas y las #mujeres sobre sus cuerpos, sus vidas y su futuro. El tema de este año, #TakeYourSeat, es un llamamiento a las mujeres y las niñas para que ocupen un espacio y reclamen su lugar en la mesa, para que hagan oír su voz y la utilicen para suscitar poderosas conversaciones sobre temas silenciados por el estigma.
Rompe el silencio y rompe los estigmas que pesan sobre los cuerpos de las mujeres y las niñas a través del juego de cartas #TakeYourSeat y mira hacia dónde va la conversación.
Cuando hablamos de estos temas, rompemos el ciclo de mitos y desinformación que niega a las mujeres y niñas su derecho a decidir.
