Context
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.
In Tunisia and Libya, the UN Women Cluster Office collaborates with national and international partners through four strategic areas: (i) women’s participation in governance and public life; (ii) women’s economic empowerment, including the transformation of discriminatory social norms and the unequal distribution of unpaid care and domestic work; (iii) the elimination of gender-based violence, including emerging and intersecting forms of violence facilitated by digital technologies; and (iv) the promotion of women’s roles in peace, security, mediation, and the prevention of violent extremism.
This volunteer assignment is supported by the Embassy of Switzerland in Tunisia as part of an initiative in partnership with the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme to strengthen youth inclusion, with a particular focus on the inclusion of young persons with disabilities (2024–2026). As such, applications from qualified young persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged.
