About UN Jobs in Egypt-Programme Analyst
The mission of UN Women is to end discrimination against women and girls, empower women, and achieve equality between men and women as partners and beneficiaries in development, human rights, humanitarian aid, and peace and security. UN Women’s work is based on the vision of equality enshrined in the United Nations Charter.
A core area of UN Women’s work globally is women’s economic empowerment that seeks to ensure income security, decent work and economic autonomy for women, as workers including migrant workers at all stages of the labor migration process, and as entrepreneurs. Women’s labor force participation rate in the MENA region is 21 percent and the region is a key destination site for migrant workers including women migrant workers from Asia, Eastern and Southern, Western and Central Africa, especially into North Africa and the Gulf States. Moreover, climate change has become a serious development threat to the region propelling migration and displacement. Against this background, the UN Women Regional Office for the Arab States, other sub-regions in Africa and Asia and select country offices in Eastern and Southern, Western and Central Africa in partnership with other UN agencies, regional partners have undertaken activities and is developing a joint program on empowering women migrant workers, including in the context of climate risk.
Additionally, a program on promoting productive employment and decent work for women in Egypt, Palestine, and Jordan is being implemented cooperatively by UN Women ROAS and ILO ROAS and will run until December 2023. The joint initiative’s strategies include advancing just labor market laws and policies, bringing together public, private, and community players with a focus on males, and lessening the unequal weight of unpaid caregiving. The program’s global, meso, and micro level activities are represented in three outcomes:
- Gender responsive labour laws and related policies in place and effective;
- IA gender responsive private sector that attracts, retains and promotes women is supported;
- Gender stereotypes about women and men’s responsibilities concerning unpaid care and household work are challenged.
