Increased engagement of partners in support of UN-Women’s mandate
Through pinnacle leadership and collaboration in achieving UN Women's GEWE priorities collectively, this year UN Women significantly explored further partnerships, engagement and advocacy with different Government of Rwanda institutions, partners, media, CSOs, etc. in support of GoR development priorities and awareness-raising of GEWE efforts in the country. Following the UN Women's baseline survey on unpaid care work published in 2022, ( https://bit.ly/3GEc1FI ) showed disproportionate time spent between women and men on unpaid care work. As a result, the Government of Rwanda is revising the family law which will soon value unpaid care work in divorce settlement cases making Rwanda one of the few countries in the world compensating spouses for unpaid care work in divorce settlements. Currently, the bill is at the ministerial level and will soon be tabled before cabinet https://bit.ly/3koUfi4 .
In addition, UN Women supported government programmes including generation equality forum commitments, bridging the gender digital gap in STEM and innovation as well as the organization of the connected girls hub side event on the sidelines of YouthConnekt Africa Summit in partnership with Ministry of Youth and Culture and the Ministry of Gender, providing financial and technical support to Hanga Pitchfest, a startup pitching competition festival organized by the Ministry of ICT and Innovation, to showcase tech-entrepreneurs from all over the country and promote the use of technology and innovation in Rwanda.
The government of Rwanda through the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion recognized the work of UN Women over the years in providing platforms like the ‘Connekted Girls Hub’ to discuss persisting challenges that limit girls to join STEM careers, saying that the ‘Connekted Girls Hub’ is part of an intentional effort to create a space for stakeholder networking, reflection and learning beyond the overarching priority of STEM. (In this article link attached https://africa.unwomen.org/en/stories/news/2022/10/bridging-the-gender-digital-divide-in-africa-un-women-rwanda) .
The coordination of the YouthConnekt summit strengthened UN Women Rwanda’s partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Culture, as a result, positioning UN Women as a key technical collaborator. The partnership among others will support a coherent and strengthened gender and youth mainstreaming in policies, initiatives, processes and partnerships.
Furthermore, UN Women Rwanda strengthened its partnership with the Gender Monitoring Office (GMO), Private Sector Federation (PSF) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to support private sector companies to promote gender equality and accountability in their businesses. 19 out of 32 enrolled private companies and government agencies were recognized for instituting gender accountability mechanisms and promoting a gender-responsive work environment. Private sector companies committed to provide a solid framework and concrete tools to support private sector companies’ gender equality agenda in line with the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) to promote gender equality.
Additionally, UN Women has consistently increased its working relationship with leading national media outlets, as a result, the CO's work has been covered extensively including in the East African regional new paper on UN Women's work on GEWE during Common Wealth Heads of State meeting held in Rwanda https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/sponsored/chogm-leaders-key-in-promoting-gender-equality-3855444 , in the Newtimes on its COVID recovery support to women house headed households https://www.newtimes.co.rw/featured/new-un-women-programme-sets-out-restore-hope-among-women-most-affected-covid-19 and in the Kinyarwanda paper “Igihe” https://en.igihe.com/news/article/beneficiaries-supported-by-un-women-during-covid-19-cheerful and its work with Rwanda Extractive Industry Workers Union (REWU) in addressing gender-based violence in the mining and quarry sector https://rewu.org.rw/?p=868 , the launch of ECDs in Nyaruguru district to alleviate women's care burden and empower them to get involved in economic activities on Isango TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgJs0g8I1Lw ETC.
