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.

In Thailand, UN Women’s programme focuses on ending violence against women (EVAW), women, peace and security (WPS) and women’s economic empowerment (WEE). The programme includes the WE RISE Together initiative.

About WE RISE Together

WE RISE Together (WRT) – Advancing gender-responsive procurement in the Mekong sub-region is a four-year Mekong-Australia Partnership (MAP) project developed by UN Women. It sits under MAP’s Economic Resilience Fund (MAP-ERF) and addresses its four drivers of resilience (including macroeconomic, household, business, and government resilience). The project responds to the prioritisation of women’s economic empowerment by expanding market access for Women-owned Businesses¹ (WOBs) and Gender Responsive Enterprises¹ (GREs) through procurement opportunities. 

WRT tackles the structural gender inequities that exist within the global procurement market in which WOBs secure only one per cent of spending worldwide.² By introducing and advancing increased market access through gender-responsive procurement¹ (GRP), WRT operates with the overall objective to empower more women to equally access, lead, and benefit from expanded market opportunities in the Mekong subregion.  The project works across the Mekong subregion, namely in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Viet Nam, leveraging the capacity, network and insights build during its phase 1 implementation.  More information about WRT can be found at: https://asiapacific.unwomen.org/en/what-we-do/economic-empowerment/we-rise-together 

In 2026, UN Women Thailand, through this programme, UN Women is implementing a series of activities leading up to the 2026 WEPs Awards in Thailand, as well as national consultations and capacity-building workshops. To support this work, UN Women seeks a proactive, driven, and energetic intern to provide support primarily to the implementation of the WE RISE Together, while also contributing to a range of programme activities under UN Women Thailand, under the overall supervision of the Programme Analyst.

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.

In Moldova, UN Women's work is guided by its ​Country Strategic Note 2023-2027, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for Moldova (2023-2027), UN Women Global  Strategic Plan, National Programs and Strategies and aims to contribute to the gender-responsive implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Strategic Note focuses on four main areas: 1) Ending Violence against Women; 2) Women’s Leadership and Governance; 3) Women’s Economic Empowerment and 4) Humanitarian and Peace development nexus and UN Coordination on Gender equality.

Towards these impact areas, UN Women works with a range of national and international partners to challenge gender-based stereotypes and to create an environment in which women act as key agents of change towards greater equality and development, in partnership with men and boys. This includes strengthening the legal and institutional frameworks that protect individuals from discrimination, harassment and gender-based violence, ensuring accountability mechanisms are in place across public institutions, private sector entities and non-governmental organizations, and supporting the effective implementation of Moldova's commitments under the National Action Plan on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS NAP), national equality legislation, and related international standards, including the prevention of and response to violence and harassment, including sexual harassment, in the workplace.

Moldova has made significant normative progress in this field in recent years. On 28 December 2023, the Republic of Moldova ratified International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 190 on the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work, which entered into force in the country on 19 March 2025. As of 1 January 2026, corresponding amendments to the Labour Code have entered into effect, introducing stricter obligations to prevent and respond to violence and harassment at the workplace. Unlike earlier, sector-specific interventions, Convention No. 190 and the revised Labour Code apply universally to all employers, public and private alike, placing private sector entities under the same legal obligations as public institutions and creating renewed demand for legal and technical support beyond the public sector. Beyond ILO Convention No. 190, Moldova's broader human rights and equality commitments — including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention), and the gender equality and non-discrimination requirements under Chapter 23 (Judiciary and Fundamental Rights) of the EU accession process, provide the wider international and regional framework against which national legislation and institutional policies must be assessed and progressively aligned.

UN Women Moldova's engagement with national counterparts on this agenda predates these legislative milestones. Since the adoption of the first generation WPS NAP (2018-2021), UN Women has partnered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defence to strengthen gender equality and institutional accountability within the security and defence sectors, including through dedicated regulations, approved in 2020, to prevent and combat sexual harassment within these institutions. This support was later extended to help additional institutions develop and operationalize internal mechanisms for preventing and responding to workplace discrimination and harassment, such as the National Penitentiary Administration (2022) or the Customs Service (2025). Building on this track record, UN Women is now extending similar support to the judiciary and prosecution service, recognizing that public trust in the justice sector depends in part on its own internal capacity to prevent and respond to violence, harassment and discrimination affecting its staff. Civil society organizations working on gender equality, non-discrimination and related issues face many of the same legal and institutional needs — from internal policy development to staff capacity building — and UN Women Moldova is therefore also extending this legal and technical support directly to civil society organizations, strengthening their own institutional practice as they carry out their advocacy and service-delivery work.

UN Women Moldova seeks to engage a national consultant to provide legal expertise, capacity building and institutional accountability support to public institutions, private sector entities and non-governmental organizations, addressing gender equality, non-discrimination, gender-based violence, and the prevention of and response to violence and harassment in the workplace.

The consultant will be reporting to the relevant UN Women Programme Analyst/Officer, and other members of UN Women Moldova CO’s management team, as appropriate, and will be supported by the Operations Associate, who will be the point of contact on contract and payment issues.

The consultant will submit intermediary progress reports and a timesheet on tasks performed and results achieved, together with supporting materials (e.g. legal opinions, training agendas and materials, presentations, e-learning content), and a final report with lessons learned at the end of the assignment.

Description of Responsibilities /Scope of Work

1. Legal analysis and advisory support

• Provide expert legal input, analysis and revisions to draft laws, regulations, normative acts, internal policies and advocacy/position papers addressing gender equality, non-discrimination and the prevention of gender-based violence, including harassment, developed or initiated by state institutions, private sector entities and/or non-governmental organizations, in line with relevant national strategic and normative frameworks.

• Design and deliver capacity-building and awareness-raising interventions, including trainings, workshops and consultations, for public institutions, private sector entities and non-governmental organizations on gender equality, gender mainstreaming, and prevention of and response to discrimination, harassment and gender-based violence.
• Support the design and delivery of public information and awareness-raising sessions, including in the context of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign and other campaigns joined by UN Women.
• Design and deliver training-of-trainers (ToT) sessions for gender focal points, senior management, HR professionals, line managers, employees, ethics/compliance personnel and for persons designated as responsible for the prevention of and response to harassment within public institutions, private entities and/or NGOs, and provide ongoing mentoring and coaching support to these focal points to strengthen their capacity to carry out their role.
• Provide follow-up mentoring to participating institutions and companies to support the practical application of knowledge acquired through training, including the development or revision of internal policies and procedures.
