Project Name: Gender equality and women’s empowerment
Contract Level:  Individuals or Companies
Duration of task: 8 weeks
Deadline for the submission of the consultancy: September 16th 2021

Background Information:

The Ministry of Education (MoE) defines violence as “any behaviour that leads to instilling harm to individuals, groups or property purposefully or out of neglect, be it in the form of verbal, physical, psychological, sexual, or electronically.” Moreover, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), violence is defined as “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, mal development or deprivation.”[1]

The MoE has been closely monitoring the different types of violence school children are exposed to, and according to its 2017 report it was found that 42% of the school children are exposed to physical violence, 41% exposed to verbal abuse, 25.9% are neglected, and 8.1% are exposed to sexual violence. Through its programs, the MoE works to combat all forms of violence, particularly focusing on gender based violence, and activities and programs aiming to reinforce child protection as well teachers’ safety. In addition to that, it also works on the integration of concepts and skills into the school curricula to empower students with culture of dialogue, respect of opinion, and life skills.

Gender-Based Violence (GBV in Palestine)[2] is a key protection concern in Palestine. According to Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) 2019 Violence Survey, averages of 27.2% of women are victims of GBV in Palestine and 35% in the Gaza Strip. To say the least, women in Palestine face multiple layers of violence and discrimination.

The combination of decades of Israeli occupation and the prevailing patriarchal culture in Palestinian society configures a very high gender inequality, which limits within the domestic ambit the expected roles for women. The traditional social situation (not unique to Palestine in the region), is complemented here with the violence and aggression from long established military occupation which has caused a long economic depression, characterized by a lack of opportunities and the added pressures from a permanent humanitarian crisis.  It has contributed to a behavioural dynamic of men being more frustrated, unable to fulfil their expected role in this patriarchal society, as their opportunities to provide and protect (two main elements of masculinity in a traditional patriarchal society), have been very limited.  The existence of a wide social agreement to maintain traditional family systems as a way to reinforce needed unity and resilience in face of occupation have eroded the development of gender policies that otherwise would have long ago found its place in the Palestine Basic Law. 

With the support from the UNFPA, and in collaboration with MoE, Juzoor is responsible for implementing the work plan entitled: Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment through Strengthening the Capacity of Health and Social Protection Actors to Promote Gender Equality, Reproductive Rights and to Effectively Address Gender-based Violence including in Humanitarian Settings.

A training manual targeting GBV was developed by the MoE and Juzoor has been updated. Our next step is to develop and online course based on the training manual that will be hosted by the MoE.
