Call for Proposals for Civil Society Organisation in Guyana
Deadline: 25-Aug-21
UN Women is calling for proposals for Civil Society Organisation to train and mentor/support champions, particularly faith-based leaders, for their visible advocacy role on Family Violence at the national level and working with other CSOs at community level.
It is expected that the design and institutionalization of advocacy campaigns targeting faith-based leaders on harmful social norms, gender stereotyping, violent masculinities and men’s violence towards women and girls involving survivors as champions and reformed perpetrators within all Spotlight Regions particularly Regions 1 and 7 will lead to changes in gender inequitable social norms, attitudes, behaviours and harmful practices at the community and individual levels to prevent violence against women and girls.
The overall goal of the Spotlight Initiative in Guyana is to reduce Family Violence by addressing the root causes of violence against women and girls (VAWG) with an emphasis on prevention.
