UN Women in action: Strategic insights and achievements
View annual report narratives for the year
UN Women has helped set up an "Allo 116" hotline to alert, report and refer women and girls who are victims of violence. This initiative is part of the improvement of services and the strengthening of the institutional framework supported by the Ministry of Women's Affairs in collaboration with the protection sectors. This outcome contributes to improving the health and well-being of women and girls through the reduction of violence and harmful practices against women and girls. UN Women participated in the Regional Summit on Positive Masculinity hosted by Senegal in partnership with the African Union. This meeting made it possible to strengthen the involvement and participation of men in the various initiatives for the respect of women's rights, protection against all forms of violence and support for empowerment. At the political level, UN Women sensitized and trained the women of the Etu Jamm Women's Watch Platform as part of the electoral process regarding the local and legislative elections in partnership with UNDP and the National Gender Observatory, the Alliance for Migration, Leadership and Development. This project has contributed to a high political representation of women in the National Assembly, 44.2% (73 women out of 165) which now places Senegal in 4th place in Africa and 18th in the world, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) ranking on women's representation in national parliaments. The ONP has identified more than 80 cases of violation of the law on parity in communal councils, whose legal challenges have led to the revision of the local councils concerned. This is why women have become deputy mayors en masse (official figures not yet available). As far as nominative positions are concerned, women are still under-represented in decision-making spheres. As proof, the ministerial reshuffle of September 2022 reported 38 ministers, of whom only 8 were women. For the first time in Senegal's history, a woman has been appointed Minister of Economy, Planning and Cooperation. In 2023, thanks to the support of UN Women, 61 civil society actors and the National Statistical System (NSS) were equipped to set up a system for collecting, processing and analyzing data generated by citizens for the monitoring of the SDGs, in the departments of Ziguinchor, Bignona and Oussouye. Through the active participation of civil society (75%) and the data it produces, the level of SDG intelligence will be improved. As part of women's economic empowerment, UN Women supported the Ministry of Women and Family to commit to reforms to recognize, reduce and redistribute women's unpaid care work. 47 national actors, including sectoral ministries, local and national elected parliamentarians, technical and financial partners, took part in the national dialogue on reforms.
