About
Overview:The JP sought to reduce all forms of gender based violence, help increase representation of women in decision making bodies and advance equal opportunities for women’s economic participation. Under Outcome 1 the JP supported the draft of the National Strategy to Combat Violence Against Women (VAW), the first ever enacted Strategy in the history of oPt, which was endorsed by the Palestinian Ministers Cabinet in January 2011. The action-oriented research on VAW contributed to the rolling out of the action plans for the National Strategy to Combat VAW. Although human and financial sources for implementation still need to be identified, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs has committed to addressing the budgeting needs during the development of the upcoming Palestinian National Development Plan 2014 – 2016 and is expected to be incorporated into the oPt United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2014 – 2016. Another tangible result of the JP actions is the plan of Sharia court judges and lawyers to establish a Bar Association of Sharia Lawyers and Judges, the first ever to be established in oPt, for which Sharia law has to be equated with that of the civil court and operationally, the verdicts from the Sharia courts to be transferred to the civil courts. Training of sharia court judges initiated a dialogue forum within the Sharia Court administration as well as within the trials/cases. The establishment of the Hayat multipurpose center (shelter) in Gaza was the first physical structure for the protection of women addressing gender based violence (GBV) forcing the government to address GBV and VAW issues for the very first time at the national/ policy level. The capacity development interventions carried out under Outcome 2 were of a holistic nature (modular training course, development of procedural manual on how to hold meetings, incentivizing meetings into which women local council members were involved etc.). Together with the establishment of the National Committee for Women’s Employment (NCWE), amount to sustainable mechanism to support continued change in women representation in the economic and political life of Occupied Palestinian territories (oPt). Outcome 3 included interventions such as women only cooperatives, training of young women engineers, support to women’s startup businesses and entrepreneurial skills development. These interventions contributed to increased understanding of labour standards laying solid ground for gender-sensitive reform of the labour law. They also contributed to creating employment opportunities. The Participatory Gender Audits have directly contributed to raising awareness on gender issues and identifying key gender gaps within the government institutions, civil society organizations and the private sector and have subsequently resulted in development of action plans to address such gaps.
