    Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Consultant Consultant- Development of Blueprints

    Background

    The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN WOMEN) is the UN organization dedicated to gender equality and was established to coordinate and accelerate the attainment of the rights of women globally. UN Women stands behind women’s equal participation in all aspects of life and supports the formulation and implementation of policies, global standards, and norms at both regional and national levels that seek to enhance gender equality and inclusive governance.

    The Constitution of Kenya has clearly articulated Kenya’s constitutional commitments to gender equality and the empowerment of women. Achieving gender parity in all spheres of life and the actualization of gender-responsive laws, policies and planning is expected to empower women on their economic, social and political rights and make progress towards achieving gender equality. The progressive rights-based Kenya Constitution 2010 provides the legal framework for the Government to fulfill basic rights, and for marginalized and vulnerable groups, especially women and children, to claim their rights. UN Women seeks to increase accountability for national and devolved planning with a goal to ensure that national and devolved planning fully reflects accountability for gender equality commitments and priorities.

    Violence against women and girls is one of the key persistent gender inequality in Kenya. Violence against women and girls (VAWG) exists in many different forms and persists as a pervasive violation of human rights and a major impediment to achieving gender equality or any development goals in Kenya. There is a lack of reliable, comparative and properly disaggregated statistical data on the prevalence of VAWG. Harmful attitudes, social norms, and practices continue to encourage VAWG, impunity, victim-blaming, and stigmatization of survivors. In response to this, UN Women is implementing a fully-fledged programme on EVAW, grounded in the Joint Programme (JP) on the prevention and response to GBV, the Ending Violence against Women and Girls (EVAWG) impact area and is premised on two UNWOMEN flagship programmes being (i) Prevention and Access to Essential Services to End Violence against Women and Girls and (ii) the safe cities and safe public spaces FPIs.

    The EVAWG work by UN Women seeks to enhance the prevention and response of VAWG. This includes access to justice for survivors, coordination of implementation and monitoring of policies and programs at a national and devolved level and strengthening referral mechanisms among service providers and duty bearers including both state and non-state actors. Lessons from the evaluation of the previous UN Women Kenya Strategic Note (SN) and internal annual reviews have shown that laws and policies supported and adopted provide a comprehensive framework for addressing VAWG, but they need to be complemented by adequately funded implementation strategies to show results. UN Women aims to support the strengthening of Kenya’s legislative and policy environment so that it is in line with international and regional standards on EVAWG. Further, the voice of survivors and their families in this discourse is critical and thus we work to strengthen the voice and capacity of rights holders, including women’s organizations and survivors’ networks to hold governments accountable, advocate for effective implementation and building the capacity of institutions (police, justice, health and education sectors), through codes of conduct, reporting mechanisms, and awareness-raising programmes, to prevent and respond to VAWG.

    The EVAWG Unit in UN Women Kenya Country Office is seeking for a consultant to support the Unit with the implementation of its activities. The consultant will work on supporting the implementation of EVAWG Unit in its’ 2020 annual work plan with a strong focus on women access to justice. Under the direct supervision of the Program Analyst EVAWG and the leadership of the Deputy Country Director, the consultant will ensure high-quality and timely implementation of the EVAWG Annual Work Plan 2020, which includes supporting effective management; monitoring and reporting of the program activities; as well as liaising with relevant stakeholders and partners.
