UN Women, the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women has been created to accelerate up the process of meeting the needs of women and girls across the world. UN Women supports UN Member States as they set global standards for achieving gender equality and works with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programs, and services needed to ensure that the standards are effectively implemented and truly benefit women and girls worldwide. UN Women is at the forefront of the global drive to remove gender barriers and end discrimination because we believe in a world of justice and human rights for everyone.
CSOs in Tajikistan developed the Strategy “Behavioral Change and Implementation of Violence Prevention Initiatives” within the framework of the Spotlight Initiative, a joint EU and UN initiative to eliminate violence against women and girls. To implement this Strategy ” (hereinafter CSO Strategy) 51 NGOs came together and created a network of CSOs “Life Free of Violence”.
The strategic goal of the CSO Strategy is to build zero tolerance to discrimination and violence against all girls and women, including women and girls subjected to multiple discrimination in the society through consolidation and capacity building of CSOs, advocacy for improvement of legislation, and development of coordination among key actors.
The achievement of the strategic goal and objectives set up is possible only by strengthening close cooperation between CSOs (as part of civil society), the state entities and development partners. One of the key factors contributing to the success of the implementation of the CSO Strategy and the Plan of Actions of the “Life Free of Violence” Network is the continuous monitoring and evaluation of the implementation progress of the CSO Strategy as well as implementation of the national strategies and programs promoting gender equality and eradicating sexual and gender-based violence.
