The Women’s Rights Program is designed to empower poor and marginalized women in Egypt who suffer from rights ’violation. Its impact goal is: By 2030, 1.5 million poor and marginalized women and girls in Egypt enjoy greater justice in fulfillment of social, economic, civil and political 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. One of the main issues women face is domestic violence, however, harmful practices, such as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and early marriage, widely prevail within the society’s traditions.
Insert the initiative name
CARE Egypt has been selected by UNFPA to implement a project addressing violence against women and girls in Upper Egypt. This project works towards ending FGM and early marriage, and supporting survivors who experienced any types of violence, exploitation, or abuse in the governorates of Assiut, Sohag, Menya, and Beni Suef. The project will contribute to the long-term impact of ”women and girls in target communities fully enjoy their lives free of the risk of FGM and early marriage’’. It seeks to address the root causes of FGM and early marriage, develop a set of interventions targeting various stakeholders. These interventions aim to raise community awareness on reproductive health and girls’ education, actively engage men and boys in the discussion against early marriage, equip a cadre of local volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to actively participate in the efforts to reduce the prevalence of harm practices and finally, networking all efforts in organized advocacy campaigns capable to achieve more gains that give women and girls a safe environment free from harmful practices in the targeted governorates.
Objective of the Assignment:
CARE Egypt is seeking a consultant to train 100 volunteers across 4 days (emulating the same 2-day training twice with a group of 50 volunteers) on the ethics and principles of volunteering, the foundations of volunteering, why volunteering is important…etc.
Scope of Work and Deliverables:
In order to reduce harm practices against girls and women, while focusing on FGM and early marriage in the targeted communities, this project works on agency (women and girls), relations (men and boys) and structures (advocacy for policy change). The project is built on capacitating a cadre of local volunteers and champions who help in the implementation of all project activities, including awareness sessions against FGM, child marriage, as well as assist and lead in engaging the community – particularly men and boys – in ending violence against women. In order to capacitate these volunteers, capacity building camps in which new volunteers are trained on the technical material and session roll-outs is implemented each year. During the 4-day camp, volunteers are also capacitated on the ethics and principles of volunteering.
This year, a total of 100 new volunteers will be trained in the camp, 25 from each of the target governorates. The training camp modality will be as follows: the gender advisor and the consultancy team will work in parallel across the 4-days by dividing the 100 volunteers into two groups. That means that each trainer/consultant will be repeating the same activity with the two groups.
