Gender training Political participation
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.

Until recently, violence against women in politics (VAWP) received little attention, yet it remains one of the most serious obstacles to the realization of women’s political rights today. According to the UN Secretary-General, the “underrepresentation of women in politics and public life … is caused and exacerbated by discrimination, harmful stereotypes and gender-based violence” and that some data “show that the violence targeting women who hold public office and political decision-making positions has a chilling impact on the political ambitions of young women, with intergenerational consequences for the full realization of their political rights.”[2]


To facilitate a critical dialogue and support capacity development of media on VAWP, particularly in the run up to Georgia’s 2024 Parliamentary Elections, UN Women Georgia intends to hire an international consultant. The main objective of the consultancy is to conduct capacity development trainings on VAWP for media representatives in Georgia. The consultant will be reporting to the G&PPL Program Specialist and the G&PPL Project Analyst and will be supported by the G&PPL Project Assistant, who will be the point of contact on the contract and payment issues.
