Gender Specialist to the Special Envoy for Syria - P3

Switzerland, Geneva, Geneva - UN Women

Background: UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. To complement this, UN Women is working to document women's priorities for peace and to build dialogue and trust across women's groups, women leaders, and women's rights actors operating inside and outside of Syria – seeking to create strategic alliances around key issues and processes that may shape the future of Syria. UN Women is providing a balanced gender analysis of the conflict. UN Women coordinates with other actors supporting gender equality and women's rights in Syria. This work is done within the programme entitled "Supporting Syrian Women's Engagement in the Syrian political process – Building a homegrown constituency for peace." This programme receives support from the governments of Finland, the Netherlands, and Norway, and the EU. Within the framework of UNSCR 2254 (2015) and guided by UNSCR 1325 (2000) and other resolutions related to the Women, Peace and Security agenda of the United Nations, the Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria (OSE-Syria) ensures the meaningful participation of women in the Syrian-owned and led, UN facilitated and mediated political process.   OSE-Syria's gender intent is to ensure that OSE-Syria's facilitation and mediation efforts provide equal opportunity for the engagement of women and men, and in turn, women and men can be equally consequential in their interactions with OSE-Syria's mediation processes. This intent incorporates the Women, Peace and Security agenda, and places it within a Syrian context. Gender mainstreaming is identified as a means to achieve Syrian women's meaningful participation and influence in the Syrian political process. OSE-Syria operates from the belief that engaging all components of society will enhance an understanding of the conflict dynamics and ensure policy prescriptions are better informed, thereby building wider public support for these prescriptions and strengthening buy-in for UN facilitation and mediation efforts. Inclusion mechanisms such as the Syrian Women's Advisory Board are perceived as one avenue to draw in the voices of women. UN Women has been working to support Syrian women's engagement in peacemaking since 2013. As part of this work, UN Women has partnered and works closely with the Office of the Special Envoy (OSE) for Syria, including by supporting Syrian women's leadership and effective engagement in the political process through the Syrian Women's Advisory Board (WAB). The Gender Specialist will be funded through UN Women's Syria Programme and seconded to OSE-Syria. There will be a reporting line to UN Women Regional Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action (WPSHA) Advisor, and OSE-Syria's Gender Advisor with overall leadership and supervision provided by the Deputy Special Envoy for Syria.
