BACKGROUND
UN
Women is the UN organization dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment

accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide. UN Women supports the UN
Member States as they set global standards for achieving gender equality, and
works with government and civil society to design laws, policies, programs, and
services needed to implement these standards. UN Women’s mandate provides
support to catalytic and innovative activities that promote gender equality,

peacebuilding, security sector reform and access to justice, UN Women Asia

gender responsive approach to understanding and preventing violent extremism

is firmly based on the empowerment of women to build resilient, cohesive and
peaceful communities – with particular attention to those that are most
marginalized and in particularly vulnerable situations. Taking especially into
consideration the growing threat of violent extremism in Asia and the Pacific,
including the increasing trend of domestic violence incidents, UN Women is
seeking to expand its efforts in the area of prevention of radicalization and
violent extremism through empowered women’s influence in building resilient
communities.
In this context, UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the
Pacific seeks to hire a consultant to provide training support to UN Women’s
office in Indonesia on women, peace and security initiatives with particular
attention to preventing violent extremism.
