II. Asignación de la consultoría 

Contexto 

 La Entidad de las Naciones Unidas para la Igualdad de Género y el Empoderamiento de las mujeres (ONU Mujeres), basándose en la visión de igualdad consagrada en la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, trabaja para eliminar la discriminación en contra de las mujeres y las niñas; por el empoderamiento de las mujeres, y para lograr la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres como socios y beneficiarios del desarrollo, por los derechos humanos, en las acciones humanitarias, en la paz y seguridad. Al colocar los derechos de las mujeres como el eje central de su labor, ONU Mujeres lidera y coordina los esfuerzos del Sistema de las Naciones Unidas para asegurar que los compromisos de igualdad y transversalidad de género se traduzcan en acciones en todo el mundo. Al mismo tiempo, ejerce un liderazgo sustantivo y coherente para apoyar las prioridades y los esfuerzos de los Estados Miembro, construyendo una asociación eficaz con el gobierno, la sociedad civil, así como con otros actores relevantes. 

ONU Mujeres aborda integralmente las causas profundas de la desigualdad desde una perspectiva de transformación de los sistemas de reproducción de las desigualdades de género y discriminaciones y con un enfoque de construcción de paz en torno a: 

• Expandir las voces, el liderazgo y la participación de las mujeres; 
• Eliminar la violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas; 
• Fortalecer la implementación de la agenda de paz y de seguridad de las mujeres; 
• Aumentar la autonomía económica de las mujeres; 
• Hacer que las prioridades en materia de igualdad de género sean esenciales en los planes, presupuestos y estadísticas nacionales, locales y sectoriales; 
• Implementar normas, políticas y parámetros mundiales sobre la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres, sentando bases para la adopción de medidas por parte de los gobiernos y de otros interesados a todos los niveles.  

La Nota Estratégica 2023 - 2027 de la Oficina País busca contribuir al empoderamiento, el ejercicio pleno de los derechos de las mujeres y a la disminución de las brechas de género, con énfasis en aquellas que viven mayor desigualdad en Bolivia, acorde con las agendas del “Vivir Bien” y Despatriarcalización. Este documento prioriza tres áreas estratégicas: Gobernanza y Participación Política; Empoderamiento Económico y Erradicación de la Violencia, que se alinean a las prioridades del Estado Plurinacional y sus prioridades con relación a la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres.  

De igual manera, ONU Mujeres Bolivia acompaña al Estado boliviano en sus esfuerzos por cumplir con los compromisos asumidos con la Convención sobre la Eliminación de Todas las Formas de Discriminación contra la Mujer (CEDAW); la Declaración y la Plataforma de Acción de Beijing; la Resolución N°1325 del Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas sobre las mujeres, la paz y la seguridad y las subsiguientes resoluciones derivadas; el Programa de Acción de la Conferencia Internacional sobre la Población y el Desarrollo; y otros procesos intergubernamentales pertinentes, como resoluciones de la Asamblea General y conclusiones convenidas de la Comisión de la Condición Jurídica y Social de la Mujer.  

De esta forma, ONU Mujeres a través de la implementación de su Nota estratégica 2023 – 2027 contribuye al avance del Marco de Complementariedad de Naciones Unidas para el Vivir Bien en Bolivia 2023 – 2027 priorizando el alcance del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 5 de igualdad de género y trabajando por su integración con la Agenda de Desarrollo Sostenible en su totalidad. 

 Antecedentes 

La violencia contra las mujeres y niñas constituye una expresión de las desigualdades estructurales de género que afecta el ejercicio pleno de sus derechos humanos. Entre sus diversas manifestaciones, el acoso sexual y otras formas de violencia en espacios públicos limitan la movilidad, autonomía y participación de las mujeres y niñas, afectando su derecho a transitar y habitar los territorios en condiciones de seguridad e igualdad. 

Los espacios públicos cumplen un papel fundamental en la vida social, económica y comunitaria de los municipios; sin embargo, cuando no incorporan criterios de igualdad de género, prevención de violencia y seguridad para mujeres y niñas, pueden convertirse en escenarios donde se reproducen situaciones de acoso, intimidación y violencia basada en género. 

En este contexto, los gobiernos autónomos municipales tienen un rol estratégico en la generación de respuestas institucionales para la prevención de estas violencias, considerando sus competencias relacionadas con la planificación territorial, gestión pública local, desarrollo humano, normativa municipal, implementación de programas y articulación con actores del territorio. 

En el marco de la iniciativa “Ciudades Seguras y Espacios Públicos Seguros para Mujeres y Niñas”, ONU Mujeres, en articulación con el proyecto de la Unión Europea, promueve el fortalecimiento de capacidades de los gobiernos locales para incorporar los enfoques de género y derechos humanos en sus procesos de planificación y gestión municipal, mediante el fortalecimiento de herramientas institucionales, la generación de evidencia, la identificación de factores de riesgo y el desarrollo de acciones sostenibles orientadas a la prevención de la violencia en espacios públicos. 

En este marco, la presente consultoría busca brindar asistencia técnica a gobiernos autónomos municipales priorizados de la región de los Llanos, fortaleciendo sus capacidades institucionales para incorporar acciones de prevención del acoso sexual y otras formas de violencia contra mujeres y niñas en sus instrumentos de planificación, programas, proyectos, normativa y mecanismos de gestión municipal.

Contexto

La Entidad de las Naciones Unidas para la Igualdad de Género y el Empoderamiento de las mujeres (ONU Mujeres), basándose en la visión de igualdad consagrada en la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, trabaja para eliminar la discriminación en contra de las mujeres y las niñas; por el empoderamiento de las mujeres, y para lograr la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres como socios y beneficiarios del desarrollo, por los derechos humanos, en las acciones humanitarias, en la paz y seguridad. Al colocar los derechos de las mujeres como el eje central de su labor, ONU Mujeres lidera y coordina los esfuerzos del Sistema de las Naciones Unidas para asegurar que los compromisos de igualdad y transversalidad de género se traduzcan en acciones en todo el mundo. Al mismo tiempo, ejerce un liderazgo sustantivo y coherente para apoyar las prioridades y los esfuerzos de los Estados Miembro, construyendo una asociación eficaz con el gobierno, la sociedad civil, así como con otros actores relevantes.

ONU Mujeres aborda integralmente las causas profundas de la desigualdad desde una perspectiva de transformación de los sistemas de reproducción de las desigualdades de género y discriminaciones y con un enfoque de construcción de paz en torno a:

• Expandir las voces, el liderazgo y la participación de las mujeres;
• Eliminar la violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas;
• Fortalecer la implementación de la agenda de paz y de seguridad de las mujeres;
• Aumentar la autonomía económica de las mujeres;
• Hacer que las prioridades en materia de igualdad de género sean esenciales en los planes, presupuestos y estadísticas nacionales, locales y sectoriales;
• Implementar normas, políticas y parámetros mundiales sobre la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres, sentando bases para la adopción de medidas por parte de los gobiernos y de otros interesados a todos los niveles.

La Nota Estratégica 2023 - 2027 de la Oficina País busca contribuir al empoderamiento, el ejercicio pleno de los derechos de las mujeres y a la disminución de las brechas de género, con énfasis en aquellas que viven mayor desigualdad en Bolivia, acorde con las agendas del “Vivir Bien” y Despatriarcalización. Este documento prioriza tres áreas estratégicas: Gobernanza y Participación Política; Empoderamiento Económico y Erradicación de la Violencia, que se alinean a las prioridades del Estado Plurinacional y sus prioridades con relación a la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres.

De igual manera, ONU Mujeres Bolivia acompaña al Estado boliviano en sus esfuerzos por cumplir con los compromisos asumidos con la Convención sobre la Eliminación de Todas las Formas de Discriminación contra la Mujer (CEDAW); la Declaración y la Plataforma de Acción de Beijing; la Resolución N°1325 del Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas sobre las mujeres, la paz y la seguridad y las subsiguientes resoluciones derivadas; el Programa de Acción de la Conferencia Internacional sobre la Población y el Desarrollo; y otros procesos intergubernamentales pertinentes, como resoluciones de la Asamblea General y conclusiones convenidas de la Comisión de la Condición Jurídica y Social de la Mujer.

De esta forma, ONU Mujeres a través de la implementación de su Nota estratégica 2023 – 2027 contribuye al avance del Marco de Complementariedad de Naciones Unidas para el Vivir Bien en Bolivia 2023 – 2027 priorizando el alcance del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 5 de igualdad de género y trabajando por su integración con la Agenda de Desarrollo Sostenible en su totalidad.

Antecedentes

La violencia contra las mujeres y niñas constituye una expresión de las desigualdades estructurales de género que afecta el ejercicio pleno de sus derechos humanos. Entre sus diversas manifestaciones, el acoso sexual y otras formas de violencia en espacios públicos limitan la movilidad, autonomía y participación de las mujeres y niñas, afectando su derecho a transitar y habitar los territorios en condiciones de seguridad e igualdad.

Los espacios públicos cumplen un papel fundamental en la vida social, económica y comunitaria de los municipios; sin embargo, cuando no incorporan criterios de igualdad de género, prevención de violencia y seguridad para mujeres y niñas, pueden convertirse en escenarios donde se reproducen situaciones de acoso, intimidación y violencia basada en género.

En este contexto, los gobiernos autónomos municipales tienen un rol estratégico en la generación de respuestas institucionales para la prevención de estas violencias, considerando sus competencias relacionadas con la planificación territorial, gestión pública local, desarrollo humano, normativa municipal, implementación de programas y articulación con actores del territorio.

En el marco de la iniciativa “Ciudades Seguras y Espacios Públicos Seguros para Mujeres y Niñas”, ONU Mujeres, en articulación con el proyecto de la Unión Europea, promueve el fortalecimiento de capacidades de los gobiernos locales para incorporar los enfoques de género y derechos humanos en sus procesos de planificación y gestión municipal, mediante el fortalecimiento de herramientas institucionales, la generación de evidencia, la identificación de factores de riesgo y el desarrollo de acciones sostenibles orientadas a la prevención de la violencia en espacios públicos.

En este marco, la presente consultoría busca brindar asistencia técnica a gobiernos autónomos municipales priorizados de la región de los Valles, fortaleciendo sus capacidades institucionales para incorporar acciones de prevención del acoso sexual y otras formas de violencia contra mujeres y niñas en sus instrumentos de planificación, programas, proyectos, normativa y mecanismos de gestión municipal.

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. 

UN Women is currently implementing a regional project on “Women’s Economic Empowerment in the South Caucasus” Phase III (WEESC III) funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The project has started in September 2024 and will last till August 2026. The first phase of the project took place during 2018-2020, followed by the second phase during 2021-2024. The overarching goal of the project is to ensure that women, particularly the poor and socially excluded, in the South Caucasus countries, including Azerbaijan are economically empowered and participate in relevant decision-making. Despite notable advancements, Women's Economic Empowerment (WEE) remains a significant challenge in the South Caucasus. Factors such as low female participation in formal employment, gender wage disparities, unequal political engagement, and women bearing disproportionate responsibility for caregiving all contribute to limited access to financial services for women and hinder their economic empowerment. Additionally, pervasive gender stereotypes and discriminatory practices persist across all three countries, further impeding progress in WEE.

The project aims women, particularly the poor and socially excluded, are able to use skills, economic opportunities, relevant information, network and support to become farmers/entrepreneurs or to join the formal labour sector in the South Caucasus countries.  The project is planning to achieve this through an increased understanding of the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) of private sector and institutionalize measures that benefit women, specifically in rural areas among others. With this purpose the activities will be caried out in Azerbaijan, focusing on providing technical support to companies to raise awareness of and adopt the UN Women/UN Global Compact WEPs. The aim is to implement gender-responsive corporate policies and practices that enhance women’s access to decent work and promote the inclusion of more women-owned and collective enterprises in supply chains. This technical support will equip private companies with tools to develop and implement gender-responsive corporate policies and practices that increase women’s access to decent work. Target companies will include medium- and large-sized businesses operating in or with supply chain links in rural areas to integrate more women-owned enterprises in their supply chains.

In this context, the project is looking for a national consultant on Women’s Economic Empowerment in Azerbaijan.

The consultant will be reporting to the Programme Specialist of UN Women and will be supported by UN Women Team in Azerbaijan and Georgia.

Description of Responsibilities/ Scope of Work

1. Promote Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) among private sector partners and business associations in Azerbaijan through multilateral and bilateral meetings. 
2. Promote and support the signing of the UN Women/UN Global Compact Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) by new private enterprises in Azerbaijan, with a focus on implementing gender-responsive corporate policies and practices.
3. Create, update and maintain the coordination work around WEPs with the engagement of WEPs focal points from private sector companies.
4. Liaise with WEPs Secretariat vis-à-vis Azerbaijani members as relevant.
5. Success stories written in the news format about WEPs signatory company.
6. Undertake other tasks to promote WEPs as requested by UN Women in Azerbaijan.

Statements:

In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment.

Diversity and inclusion:

At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect. UN Women recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, national origin, or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, competence, integrity and organizational need.

If you need any reasonable accommodation to support your participation in the recruitment and selection process, please include this information in your application.

UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to UN Women’s policies and procedures and the standards of conduct expected of UN Women personnel and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. (Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check.)

Note: Applicants must ensure that all sections of the application form, including the sections on education and employment history, are completed. If all sections are not completed the application may be disqualified from the recruitment and selection process.

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 (EVAW) is a priority area in UN Women’s Strategic Plan and a core focus of the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP). Violence against women is one of the most widespread human rights violations worldwide, affecting around one in three women in her lifetime, with a similar rate estimated across the Asia-Pacific region. Research shows that this violence is preventable, and its elimination requires a holistic approach across individual, community, institutional, societal, and governmental levels.

UN Women seeks a proactive and motivated intern to support the implementation and coordination of the SVRI Forum 2026, the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign, and International Migrants Day as well as other programme activities led by UN Women's Ending Violence Against Women (EVAW) team, under the overall supervision of the Regional Programme Specialist on Ending Violence against Women (PROTECT).

About SVRI

As part of its portfolio, ROAP is a co-host of the SVRI Forum 2026, taking place from 5 to 9 October 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand. The SVRI Forum is the world’s leading global research conference on violence against women, violence against children and other forms of gender-based violence, convening more than 1,500 researchers, practitioners, survivors, policymakers, funders and activists every two years. The 2026 Forum is co-hosted by the Southeast Asia Gender-based Violence Prevention Platform and the UN Joint Programme on Gender-based Violence Prevention in Southeast Asia. UN Women ROAP is engaged across the Forum as co-host, presenter and exhibitor, generating a  significant volume of registration, logistical, travel, procurement, coordination and communications tasks in the lead-up to, during and after the event.

Please note that the position’s support to the SVRI Forum will be office-based and will not necessarily include attendance to the Forum.

About the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual global campaign running from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day. Led by civil society since 1991 and supported by the United Nations through the UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women campaign, it calls for global solidarity to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls. The theme for 16 Days of Activism 2026 is "Ensure justice, protect survivors, end impunity." More information: https://www.unwomen.org/en/what-we-do/ending-violence-against-women/unite/theme   

During the campaign, the EVAW unit coordinates and supports events, communication, production of editorial and social media content, as well as logistics, both in Bangkok and remotely.
