Field Oversight Advisor for BERSAMA – Gender-based
Violence Prevention Program in Eastern Indonesia
Background:
Bersama’s goal is “Gender-based violence reduced.”
Bersama will support community-based efforts to prevent and respond to gender-based
violence (GBV) in Eastern Indonesia, especially in Papua and West Papua. This
effort will serve as the primary entry point for supporting partners to
advocate for reduced acceptance of gender inequality and for increased
government accountability for promotion and protection of citizen rights and
the provision of basic services, especially services for survivors of violence.
As violence against women constitutes the largest and most visible component of
GBV, the Bersama project will focus primarily on violence against women (VAW)
while leaving the door open to addressing other aspects of GBV.
Bersama seeks to contribute to the prevention and more
effective response to GBV. The Bersama goal will be accomplished by achieving
three lower-level objectives:
1. Reduced Acceptance of GBV and Gender Inequality through
establishment of norms that support non-violence and equity in relationships
among women and men;
2. Strengthened Government Capacity to provide basic
services related to GBV;
3. Increased voice for Bersama CSO subgrantees in the
fight against GBV
