Women’s Rights Program
The Women’s Rights (WR) Program is designed to empower poor and marginalized women in Egypt who suffer from rights’ violation. Its impact goal is: By 2025, poor women in Egypt especially in Upper Egypt are empowered and enjoying a better quality of life, having attained their rights. In order to achieve this goal, the program works with both the duty bearers in government and civil society, as well as rights bearers, women themselves, to address discriminatory attitudes and behavior towards women and girls.
The WR program works with the duty bearers to support their role to protect and uphold the rights of women, and also with the women to encourage them to understand voice and demand their rightful entitlements. The program works on three domains (agency, relations and structure) in order to empower poor women in Egypt to gain their rights. Through the focus on agency, women’s self-esteem and confidence are built, and women have increased financial independence to fulfill their potential as productive and income-earning members of their households and society. In addition, when power relations (families) are gender sensitive whilst tackling all forms of gender-based violence (GBV) within and outside the household, and when structures (social norms or laws) particularly in the area of personal status, domestic violence are reformed, passed and implemented, gender equality can be achieved.
The program goal:
To enhance safety and dignity for Syrian and non-Syrian refugees and vulnerable host community women, girls, and boys living in Egypt through increased access to comprehensive protection prevention and response services.
Objective of the Assignment:
CARE will continue to work with legal organizations to offer legal assistance to GBV survivors on a one-on-one basis, providing legal advice and attending court cases when needed. Legal services may also include legal counseling, filing police reports, issuing marriage or birth certificates, and filing for divorce or custody. 48 GBV survivors will benefit from legal services.
Consultants will be expected to work in Alexandria, Dakahlia, and Damietta as well as Cairo in certain areas that will be defined.
