Gender-based violence (GBV)
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.

Duties and Responsibilities

The consultant will conduct an analysis informed by measures compiled in the Global Database, providing perspectives on national responses to prevent and respond to VAW and to clearly report findings for a non-specialist audience, including through data visualization. The research will include, at minimum, the following elements:
  1. An assessment and analysis of EVAW measures adopted by Member States before and since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda and recommendations for the way forward;
  2. An analysis of the global and/or regional trends of national responses to highlight national priorities and gaps in prevention and response of VAW;
  3. Good practices and case studies, to encourage comprehensive and targeted prevention and response interventions to VAW.
 
Provided that the Global Database on Violence against Women categorizes the measures by type (e.g. legislation, budgets, prevention, responses, others), by form of violence, and by regions and countries, various fields of research can contribute to the analysis, including legal studies, public policies, international development, gender studies, public health, among others. Research approaches can be determined by applying and combining different variables, such as types of measures, forms of violence and geographies.  The consultant will be expected to identify and submit to UN Women research themes that can be informed by the measures compiled in the database. The research themes will be discussed with UN Women and jointly approved at the beginning of the assignment.
