Term of Reference of Consultant for KAP Studies of violence free village and schools

Duty Stations: Jayapura with some travels to Kabupaten Jayapura, Kabupaten Keerom and Kabupaten Jayawijaya
Duration: Two Months
Level: NOB/NOC (Depend on Qualifications and Experiences)
Type of Contract: SSA

1. Background and Purpose:

According to the National Socio-economic Survey on Violence Against Women and Children in 2006, Papua Province had the highest prevalence of VAWC. To this regard, the goal of the joint programme on Combating Violence Against Women and Children in Papua Province, (with UNFPA as lead agency, together with UN Women and UNICEF), is to reduce violence against children and women through 3 main outcomes as follows:

Outcome 1: The legal and policy frameworks will be strengthened to protect the rights of women and children and eliminate violence against women and children
Outcome 2: Service delivery will be improved to provide an integrated service to survivor of violence and legal aid services in 3 regencies (Jayawijaya, Jayapura and Kerom)
Outcome 3: Government, civil society and community capacity will be improved to prevent violence against women and children and to protect the rights of women and children

These outcomes are in , support of implementation of the Law of Republic of Indonesia No. 23/2002 on Child Protection; Law of Republic of Indonesia No. 23/2004 on Elimination of Domestic Violence, Law of Republic of Indonesia No. 21/2007 on Elimination of Trafficking in Persons, Law of Republic of Indonesia No. 7/1984 on Ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women; Law of Republic of Indonesia No.36/2009 on Health; Government Regulation No.9/2008 on Integrated Service Procedure and Mechanism for victims and/or witness of trafficking in persons; Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection Regulation No.1/2010 on Minimum Standard of Services for Victims of Violence against Women and Children (MSS VAWC, the outcomes are also in line with the goals of the UN Secretary General's Unite to End Violence against Women Campaign 2008-2015 .
Law enforcers as well as service providers at both provincial and regency level lack the necessary capacity to affectively to address the needs of survivors and ensure access to good quality services. The remoteness of Papua and the lack of access to expertise and tools for capacity building have contributed to this gap.
In terms of the provision of integrated services, Papua is lagging far behind. Coordination and referral among service providers remains weak. The joint project Combating Violence against Women and Girls in Papua is designed to add value to existing services provided to survivors of violence as well as to put in place better systems for coordination among various institutions that provide child-friendly and gender responsive services. Investment in capacity development is a key focus in this joint project. The project aims to build the capacity of local service providers, such as the police, health personnel, prosecutors, judges, social workers (professional and volunteers), faith based organizations, women organizations, legal aid institutions, local women empowerment offices, local health offices, local education offices and local social affairs offices in preventing and responding to violence against women and girls. In this regard, the joint project will utilize the MSS VAWC as the minimum requirements in the provision of public service to victims of violence against women and children in every regency / municipality.

In addition to the implementation of the national Domestic Violence and Child Protection Law, a draft Provincial Regulation on the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Children is currently available. The draft Provincial Regulation is timely given the significance of primary prevention in work on violence against women and girls. While a draft is available, the process of participation, consultation and review has not been conducted adequately. The review process also needs to take into consideration gender equality principles in CEDAW, Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 1820 as well as components of working with boys and men to prevent violence against women and children. Furthermore, Papua has experienced conflict and insecurity, which can further endanger women and children's safety. The review on the existing draft regulation as well as building awareness and capacity around Security Council Resolutions1325 and 1820 are essential in enhancing prevention and response to VAWC in Papua Province.
As to primary prevention efforts in Papua Province, some initiatives have been taken but in an ad hoc basis without continuity though reducing their effectiveness. There have been initiatives, activities and campaigns on raising awareness on violence against women and children in schools, churches, communities but these were rarely coordinated. Efforts to strengthen primary prevention are much needed. The proposed joint project will target pilot schools and villages are locations for initiatives on primary prevention.

As part of the joint programme strategies for prevention and capacity development at community level under outcome 3 above, UNFPA and UNIFEM will support the development of five Violence Free Villages in Kabupaten Jayapura, Kabupaten Jayawijaya and Kabupaten Keerom.
