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. Placing women's rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates the United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. The work of UN Women in Moldova is guided by its Country Strategic Note for 2018-2022, aligned with the Republic of Moldova–United Nations Partnership Framework for Sustainable Development 2018–2022, the Global Strategic Plan of UN Women for 2018-2021, the National Strategy on Gender Equality for 2017-2021 (NSGE), the National Strategy for prevention and combating violence against women and domestic violence for 2018-2023 elaborated in line with the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention). UN Women Strategy for Moldova 2018-2022 focuses on three main areas: 1) strengthening women’s participation in politics and decision making, 2) economic empowerment of women and 3) ending violence against women and girls. To achieve progress under these areas, UN Women works with a variety of national and international partners and as part of different national and regional initiatives. As of 13 May, 6.1 million refugees have already fled Ukraine[1], and the number of internally displaced people (IDPs) has reached 7.7 million.[2] Of those who have fled the country, it is estimated that 90 per cent are women and children, while most men aged 18–60 are required to stay behind under martial law.[3] Based on current data from the International Organization for Migration, 60 per cent of the adult internally displaced population are female, while 40 per cent are male.[4] On 24 February the Government of the Republic of Moldova declared a state of emergency, following the outbreak of hostilities in neighbouring Ukraine. Authorities established a special regime of entry and exit from the country, special measures for the protection of refugees, the protection of the population and of the country’s institutions. The Government has declared its readiness to receive refugees from Ukraine and is cooperating with the UN, as well as local and international organizations to respond to the unfolding crisis[5]. As of 22 April, Moldovan authorities have reported 430,226 arrivals from Ukraine, of whom 393,192 are Ukrainian refugees and 37,034 third-country nationals (TCNs).[6] Considering emergency and humanitarian needs of refugees from Ukraine, the country-level refugee coordination structure was set up by the Government of Moldova and UNHCR, with participation of Government Ministries and other entities, UN organizations, international and local NGOs. The country-level refugee coordination structure brings all players together and coordinates the multi-partner response in support of refugees and the Government of Moldova. It also aims at guiding joint advocacy initiatives and resource mobilization efforts in support of the country-level response. To mainstream people-centred and gender-sensitive approach in emergency response, the Gender Task Force (GTF) was established and is being Co-chaired by UN Women and Gender Equality Platform. 50 representatives from Government, UN, INGO and local women’s organizations, including grassroots, take part in the GTF and work hand in hand to provide cross-sectoral and interorganizational support to ensure the integration of gender dimensions into the refugee response by addressing protection and gender mainstreaming gaps and strengthening access to services for people of all ages, genders, and diversities, including women, men, adolescents/youth, boys and girls, as well as vulnerable groups such as older adults and persons with disabilities. The Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) opened a call for grants to women and young women’s civil society organizations in Ukraine and Moldova that focus on the protection of women and girls and ensure the integration of needs of women are girls into humanitarian response in conflict and humanitarian contexts. The WPHF is a global pooled funding mechanism which aims to stimulate a significant increase in financing for women’s participation, leadership, and empowerment in peace and security processes and humanitarian response and supports quality interventions designed to enhance the capacity of local women to prevent conflict, respond to crises and emergencies, and seize key peacebuilding opportunities. The overall goal of the WPHF’s theory of change is to contribute to peaceful and gender equal societies. UN Women CO Moldova applied for funds of WPHF under the current Strategic Note, specifically priority area 1: “Women lead, participate in and benefit equally from governance system, including peace and security” and facilitated signature of 6 Partner Agreements with women led CSOs that will directly target women and children refugees from Ukraine, CSO representatives, activists /defenders working for women’s rights and gender equality, media outlets and central and local authorities. Under Humanitarian Support project, UN Women in Moldova collaborates with the central government, local authorities, civil society organizations and other UN agencies to empower Ukrainian women and girls under temporary protection as well as other refugee women and vulnerable women from the host communities, and to improve their access to opportunities, rights and services, as required by international treaties and national legislation.
