For the project

 

Established in 1981, The Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development (PWWSD) is a non-governmental women’s, mass, developmental, and learning human rights organization that contributes to developing feminist struggle within national, social, and developmental dimensions. The organization believes that liberating women is connected directly with ending the occupation and establishing a full Palestinian democratic sovereign civil state. PWWSD is active all over West Bank including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip and is an active member in several local, regional, and global networks and coalitions.

The Palestinian Working Women’s Society for Development (PWWSD) aims for a free and democratic Palestinian society based on gender equality, respect for human rights and social justice. PWWSD promotes women self-empowerment, women’s participation in the struggle against the Israeli occupation, women’s contribution to the development processes, the entitlement of woman to political, economic and civic rights, women’s access to justice and their right to a life free of violence.

 

PWWSD seeks an individual consultant for the project " Vocational Culinary program for Chefs development: economic opportunities for Palestinian youth”. The objective of this consultancy is to hire a trainer of chefs to providing young females and males with a passion for cooking, with culinary skills and capacities, introducing them into a new way of making art.

 

 

In a context where job opportunities are reduced for Palestinian youth, providing with practical tools and skills is highly important for their   access into the job market and to gain economic autonomy and work experience,

In Palestine, the existence of training facilities for cooking techniques are hard to find at affordable prices, factually excluding women and men with a passion for cooking but with reduced resources.

The Vocational Culinary program for Chefs development at PWWSD aims at providing young females and males who have passion for cooking, with culinary skills and capacities, introducing them into a new way of making art, and sharing those creations with their communities, setting the opportunity to make a career out of it.

Youth with reduced means will be selected to participate in the program, both women and men, an important element to break gender roles on both sides, since, on the one hand, women are generally confined to domestic tasks such as cooking at the homes –hence, introducing men to it will help ending such stereotype. On the other hand, often, there is a gender imbalance in the culinary industry, where chefs are predominantly male, largely prevailing in the kitchens of the food establishments over women, being this a male-dominated sector at large –thus, expanding women’s presence in the professional culinary industry will also help ending gender inequalities by which women have difficulties accessing higher ranking positions.
