Grounded
in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United
Nations, UN Women 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.
Placing women’s rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women leads
and coordinates United Nations System efforts to ensure that commitments
on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action
throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in
support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective
partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. In keeping with its role as a knowledge broker of gender equality issues, UN Women launched the first global constitutional database on gender equality-related provisions contained in 195 Constitutions organized by five geographical regions (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceana). The database was originally created on the basis of 16 gender equality categories and is due to be re-launched with an expanded searchable capacity of 9 additional categories. In an effort to disseminate the content of these constitutional provisions, UN Women is seeking the services of a consultant to prepare four fact sheets that reflect the qualitative and quantitative results of the analysis of constitutional provisions on the following clusters of criteria:
