Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

The Outcome was not achieved, but a significant progress made: The Third Alternative Report to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) prepared on status of Women Living with HIV (WLWH). The CEDAW will receive objective first-hand information on the status of WLWH: these women face high levels of stigma and discrimination, discriminatory laws, and barriers to services, including access to legal support. Sixty (60) women living with HIV, rural and urban, actively contributed to the report, justified by evidence, data and statistics with UN Women technical support. The report contains a set of concrete recommendations to the State. Forty-five (45) WLWH beneficiaries of the UN Women-delivered Transformative Leadership training (2021-2022) led this process. Office partnered with the Tajikistan Network of WLWH, the Network of Professional Lawyers, and NGO SpinPLus, whose key recommendations and inputs were factored in the Report. In the course of this work, UN Women has further strengthened its partnership with these CSOs. The Government submitted a List of suggested amendments to the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence (DV) to the Parliament . The key recommendations include: define DV as a crime; provide access to services and means of legal protection to victims and appropriate punishment for the perpetrator; apply for compensation for material and moral damage caused by DV; use free of charge the medical services for victims; ensure the Prosecutor Office, Child Rights Commission; CoWFA, local authorities and health and social protection institutions have the authority to prevent violence; introduce referral services for victims, including more clarity on shelters; and introduce local coordinating bodies on prevention. These amendments are a result of continuous advocacy by UN Women and partners. Technical expertise was provided by Office in 2019-2022 to identify key gaps and bottlenecks in the existing legislation and provide policy advice, based on the international best practices in line with CEDAW recommendations. Three Government Working Groups engaged in joint advocacy work, done in the frames of the Spotlight Programme. Office partnered with UNDP, UNICEF, UNFPA, OHCHR, and prominent civil society actors, who provided joint recommendations and inputs. In the course of this work, Office has strengthened its partnership with the legal department of the Executive Presidential Apparatus and other government entities. Prominent civil society actors provided key recommendations and inputs as well. Tajikistan strengthened national Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) through two projects: Financings SDGs in Tajikistan and Supporting Families Left Behind in Khatlon. This was accomplished through: i) development of the “Gender responsive budget analysis of pilot ministries programs and policies in Tajikistan”; ii) signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Academy of Public Administration (APA) on mainstreaming gender equality and GRB; iii) establishing a Centre for capacity-building for talented women and women in decision-making; iv) development and institutionalization of the training module for civil servants on GRB; v) 17 trainers, 83 civil servants and 114 members of the workings groups under the National Development Council increased their capacity on gender and financing SDGs; vi) development of the “Practical guide on GRB implementation”; and vii) providing recommendations on piloting GRB. Through these results, Office established itself as a key actor on GRB in Tajikistan and was included in the national working group (WG) on mainstreaming GRB and SDG marker. This WG at the Ministry of Finance (MoF) developed, with inputs from UN Women, the draft Law "On the State Budget of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2024" and instruction on the development of indicators for the State Budget 2023-2025. Twenty (20) state and non-state service providers and CSOs run an effective, confidential and gender sensitive SGBV response mechanism due to the UN Women-designed and piloted SGBV Localized Referral Mechanism rolled-out by Migration Programme. The Committee of Women and Family Affairs (CoWFA) developed the mechanism in the frames of the Spotlight Programme, which has proved to be a successful tool in providing client-centered services to the women and girls. Almost 320 women/girls applied to the local Department of the CoWFA and were referred for services since the mechanism’s operationalization in August 2022 which is now active in two pilot districts of the Migration Programme. The Government of Tajikistan increased its commitments to gender equality and women’s empowerment through policy development, coordination efforts, and practical initiatives to promote women’s rights. In particular, these commitments are now reflected in the draft National Migration Strategy which has been gender mainstreamed. The Government’s adoption and implementation of this Strategy 2030 will be an important political step for Tajikistan. The draft Strategy now responds to the needs of women, related to their social protection, support, and economic activities, with the Office’s support. It should be noted, the initial draft of the strategy was gender-neutral and relevant gender aspects were poorly highlighted in various sections. UN Women’s recommendations included: changes into the overall structure of the strategy to better reflect gender issues; gender analysis of key trends in the fields of labor migration; suggested gender disaggregated/or gender-specific indicators to the Monitoring and Evaluation Section; changed text from gender-neutral into gender-sensitive; introduced gender-specific actions. The Deputy Minister of Labor, Migration, and Employment of Population Minister (MoLMEP) recognized the role of UN Women in supporting the legislation at various stakeholders meetings. The Government is expected to adopted the Strategy in 2023. Office also partnered with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), UNICEF, IOM, and FAO to ensure that the draft Strategy incorporated the multifaceted nature of women’s vulnerability and addressed them in a comprehensive way. Prominent civil society actors provided key recommendations and inputs to the draft Strategy. In the course of this work, Office has successfully strengthened partnerships with the above state and non-state partners. Women’s vulnerabilities were discussed and addressed through economic solutions at the Women’s Economic Empowerment Symposium. Representatives of relevant ministries and departments, business associations, private sector, development partners, experts, and media representatives participated in the Symposium which was held in the framework of Migration Project in close partnership with the State Committee on Investment (SIC) and Women’s Entrepreneurship TaskForce under the Government of Tajikistan. Over 120 women, especially from vulnerable groups, youth and people with disabilities, exchanged information and developed specific recommendations in order to create opportunities for promoting women’s entrepreneurship and discuss ways to overcome problems and obstacles in these areas. This was through a platform created by UN Women in partnership with UNDP, USAID, local financial institutions and CSOs . The Government of Tajikistan, the SIC, the Secretariat of the Advisory Council under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, and the CoWFA recognized the role of UN Women in organizing the Symposium and its contributions to the development of women’s businesses. Report and recommendations from the Symposiums presented to the Government by the SIC in its annual report for 2022. Notably, under the guidance of the Regional Office, the new ToC 2023-2026 was developed in 2022. The new ToC informed by all good practices and lessons learned and reflects recent developments in the country and in the region.Disclaimer and notes
