Programme Analyst - Ending Violence Against Women (EVAW)

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.
Ending violence against women and girls (EVAWG), including harmful practices,
has been a clear and committed priority of the Government of Egypt. There have
been gains in terms of gradually evolving legislative frameworks and increased
national-level awareness about the prevalence of gender-based violence and the
legislative provisions to protect individuals from harm. The most significant
gains in recent years have been the establishment of core essential services
for women and girls escaping violence. These gains and investments are
important, but so are the demands. Alignment of the legislation with the
Constitution and ensuring sufficient allocation of financial and human
resources to essential services continue to challenge national response to
EVAWG. Equal to these requirements, is the need to address the social norms -
and within this, gender norms - which are at the root of all forms of VAWG
including female genital mutilation (FGM).
Building on over ‎20 years of investments, partnerships and technical
expertise, UN Women Egypt Country Office (ECO)'s Portfolio works with national
stakeholders in strengthening the capacity of duty-bearers to provide quality
essential services for survivors of violence in an integrated and coordinated
manner. In this regard, UN Women also supports the provision of shelters,
legal aid, and psycho-social support for survivors of violence. UN Women
supports advancing positive social norms, attitudes, and behaviors at the
individual and community level; and establishing and operating safe and
economically viable public spaces for women and girls who are empowered to
access and use them. This work is made possible through the generous support
of the European Union.
