Background

 

UN Women grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women’s rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates the United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts and builds effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

UN Women  strategic plan Impact Area 3 “Women and girls live a life free of all forms of violence”, focuses on supporting the capacities of the Palestinian Government and civil society actors to prevent violence and deliver quality, accessible and coordinated services for victims and survivors of violence, which is central to the 2030 Agenda, particularly SDG 5 on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls, and SDG 16 on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development.

UN Women has been operating in Palestine since 1994 (as UNIFEM) and has achieved significant successes in enhancing women’s access to justice, through supporting the Justice, Security and social sectors to establish, institutionalize and provide gender responsive and multi- sectoral services to women victims and survivors of violence.  More precisely, under the first phase and the current phase of its’ joint programme with UNDP and UNICEF “SAWASYA”, UN Women  achievements included supporting the  institutionalization of the Family and Juvenile Protection Units at the Palestinian Civil Police,  the establishment of the One Stop Centre of multisectoral coordinated services on VAW, the establishment of the specialised prosecution on Protecting Family from Violence, the assignment of specialised judges on VAW, strengthening the capacities of the Gender Units at the Justice and Security sectors, strengthening the capacity of partners to provide gender responsive services to women during the legal process and beyond, in addition to the development of key legislations, policies and standard  Operating Procedures (SOPs).
