Lead-Trainer to conduct trainings on gender aspects of mediation and role of women in conflict resolutions processes
Since autumn 2010, UN Women, with the support of the European Union (EU), has been implementing the cross-regional programme “Women Connect across Conflicts: Building Accountability for Implementation of UN SCR 1325, 1820, 1888, 1889.” The programme aims to enhance the capacity of women’s human rights activists and gender equality advocates and their networks to effectively and meaningfully engage, influence, and mobilize for dialogues on security and peace issues at various levels, nationally and regionally in the Southern Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan), in South Asia (Pakistan and Afghanistan), and the Central Asia /Fergana Valley (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan).
The programme aims to achieve four objectives, as follows:
The first objective is to facilitate work at the national level with respect to the development of the National Action Plans (NAPs) on UNSCRs 1325, 1820, 1888 and 1889 (hereafter referred to as UNSCR 1325).
The second objective aims to strengthen a referral mechanism to provide redress for sexual and other forms of violence against women in situations of conflict in at least one country.
The third objective focuses on incorporating gender equality principles into the internal operations of the security sector to promote zero tolerance to using sexual violence as a weapon of war in at least one country.
The fourth objective aims to mobilize national partners at local level to engage in evidence-based dialogues and advocacy for reconciliation, tolerance building and compliance with women’s human rights obligations in the Fergana Valley (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan).
A series of activities have been conducted within the frames of the programme to build the capacity of women human rights activists and enhance their efforts to address women security and peace building needs.
The Programme intends to expand its capacity building framework and incorporate gender expertise in mediation and peace processes as a key skill to be held by women human rights and peace activists and other key stakeholders. For this purpose, the cross-regional programme intends to conduct two training sessions in Georgia on gender aspects of mediation and role of women in ongoing mediation and conflict resolution processes. One three-day training session will be organized for 15 selected human rights and gender activists/NGO representatives from Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Another two-day training session will be for max 15 representatives of the Georgian Government. The first training will provide a forum for women from various sectors and organizations to discuss: How women are being utilized in the process? How gender parity issues are currently being dealt with? How to get women’s interests included and implemented?
The session for the Government will serve to sensitive participants and stakeholders of the formal peace process to gender-related issues and build their skills towards a concrete mainstream of gender issues into their work. With this purpose, the UN Women Cross-regional Programme intends to hire two international experts: a lead trainer and an expert on women’ rights and transitional justice to conduct the trainings.
