Increased engagement of partners (allies) in support of UN-Women’s mandate

During 2022, More than 40 non-traditional strategic alliances were achieved with groups of artists, actresses, musicians, stand-up artists, civil society organizations, women's groups, youth groups and other alternative collectives which allowed positioning UN Women's initiatives in Bolivia. The work was also undertaken with UN agencies, funds and programs in Bolivia and other stakeholders that became key actors to generate ideas, proposals and creative and mobilizing lines of action with non-recurrent populations, achieving an effective impact. Strategic alliances with non-traditional partners allowed UN Women in Bolivia to advance in the implementation of non-traditional communication plans for the deconstruction of social imaginaries that discriminate, that accept violence and put women's lives at risk. Artistic and playful expressions such as standup, theater, dance, flashmob, batucadas, and youth meetings allow for interpersonal and non-traditional communication in which audiences feel directly involved and committed to gender equality. Likewise, synergies were generated to implement the HeForShe, #SíEsDeHombres and Únete campaigns. A non-traditional strategic alliance was stablished with the International Theater Festival FITAZ in which more than 65 spaces were developed with indoor theater plays, theater for children, street theater and virtual theater, in addition to spaces for reflection, analysis and exchange of experiences such as workshops, forums, among other activities, which reached nearly 20,000 people, both in artistic presentations and in parallel educational activities. In addition, the Country Office signed 15 MOUs with different stakeholders, including academia and civil society organizations. #WithoutMaskWithoutViolence https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dKvTdC-Rn5BwoiwRL-J49iV0oPSfkiYU?usp=share_link #SiEsdeHombres: Launching in the city of El Alto Elaboration of Reels https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jSb19TlWD0ewPpauzpnfOLBeEz4v3oCm?usp=share_link ÚNETE Campaign: Orange Day (25th of each month) #OrangeDay January 25 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SQ1cBMNRoD111dmELLnj_oKZGYWGX-Eq?usp=share_link #OrangeDay March 25 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12IoOKsQbwHD06KMNTy-2Iq5v9l2fgcIT?usp=share_link #OrangeDay April 25 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GqJsEh9JP_Fbz4mvYUwr9lfiMtz-UcQk?usp=share_link #OrangeDay May 25 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yBEGgdcoaoxWSwxE4rOi6gQMGWFgoVs6?usp=share_link #OrangeDay July 25: Political Harassment and Violence https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IpFQxFrOVOLYCcqUS7P25zMx3Nlj_m5m?usp=share_link #OrangeDay August 25 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1b3LQlmhhi8V92DHYTSvHJmkbdkCyIFc7?usp=share_link #OrangeDay September 25: More Love Less Myths https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tBv3TIuulnM3yp0bFzMOPQ_UggRV5-l0?usp=share_link 8M: International Women's Day #8M: Agenda, posts, event invitations and interview trailers https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17rr9Q4mZFuEiPliPlJ6LfWt63dIckeMN?usp=share_link #WomenInScience Women in Science - National Museum of Natural History, UN Women Bolivia and OWSD Bolivia https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tHW2Qs0I9Z715N_4ZnIptUk9ppB6D7sR?usp=share_link Pride Month LGTBQI+ Pride Month in the framework of the Generation Equality Campaign: Elaboration of testimonial videos https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18BRPUEtdwyglbA-vh3OOwYwiZv1Zc8MT?usp=share_link Campaign #YoMeVacuno Campaign #YoMeMeVacuno - UN Women, United Nations in Bolivia, PAHO/WHO Bolivia and the Ministry of Health and Sports.
