The 40 th UPR recommendation provided to Timor-Leste under the thematic area of discrimination against women - Promote gender equality and better protect the rights of vulnerable groups, such as women and children and address issues of gender inequality by implementing policies and practices to reduce domestic violence and other discrimination against women and girls. UN Women (UNW) is supporting the government in operationalising this recommendation by leveraging its UN coordination mandate. In 2023 UN led the joint UN effort to contribute to accelerating efforts for gender equality to bring about transformative change. Specifically, in Timor-Leste, as part of 5DG 5, UNW supported the national partners to integrate and implement the Connect with Respect (CWR) Framework. UNW in Timor influenced the education system towards changing and harmful social norms engaging men and boys and women and girls, to challenge stereotypes and foster respectful relationships. 28 schools in Timor-Leste adopted Connect with Respect curriculum. The curriculum is a set of extracurricular programs that focus on developing skills and networks to change harmful social norms engaging students (both boys and girls), teachers, and parents. The curriculum has thus far reached out to 923 students (499 girls and 424 boys) and 113 teachers (47 female and 66 male) in the 28 schools and 848 parents of the students consisting of 546 women and 302 men, promoting gender equality and nurturing respectful relationships among students. In a first of its kind Federation of Basketball Timor Leste's (FNBTL), adopted a comprehensive code of conduct that manifests a commitment to preventing gender-based violence and fostering secure and respectful environments. The National University of Timor-Leste (UNTL) established a counselling service to specifically address Sexual Harassment (SH) and Gender-Based Violence (GBV). The establishment of a counselling room facility has reduced the structural barrier for women and girls in need of essential services. This achievement is further bolstered by quarterly mock sessions that ensured the quality and availability of counseling services, demonstrating a proactive approach that contributed to effective communication and enhanced accessibility. The CwR framework has been operationalised through partnership with educational institutions, nodal government agency - Sate Secretary for Inclusion (SEI) and Ministry of Education, civil society organisations - plan international and FOKUPER and UN Agencies - UNDP, UNICEF and UNFPA. The CwR framework is being implemented as part of the Joint Programme - Together for Equality (T4E) and it brings together 4 partnering UN Agencies. Through the T4E coordination committee UNW pushes the agenda of EVAW through social behaviour change in the UNCT. The results of the programme contribute directly to outcome 2 and 5 of the UNSDCF.Disclaimer and notes
