UN Women Programme Coordinator, Women, Peace and Security.

Background
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.
The UN Women West and Central Africa Regional Office (WCARO) in Dakar, Senegal, was established in 2013. The office, through its regional thematic advisers, works to provide strategic guidance and support for mandate implementation to UN Women country offices and programs; analyzes regional trends and emerging issues related to the promotion of women’s rights and gender equality in West and Central Africa; facilitates UN regional-level coordination activities and partnership-building with regional organizations; and oversees knowledge production and knowledge management to inform policy direction.
UN Women is committed to ensuring equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of peace, security, and humanitarian action with a goal of a more peaceful and gender equal societies through the women, peace and security agenda.
The impact of conflict is often measured by casualties: Women and girls face heightened risks due to displacement and the breakdown of normal protection structures and support, gender-based violence.
Also, Women and girls are disproportionately exposed to risk, increased loss of livelihoods, security, and even lives, during and in the aftermath of conflicts and insecurity.

Brief Project Description
The United Nations is supporting efforts for peace and security in the Sahel region, which is experiencing complex security, political and humanitarian challenges.
It is home to the resounding constraints of extreme poverty, exacerbated by the effects of climate change, frequent food crises, an average population growth rate of 3.2%, unresolved internal tensions, the reality of violent extremism (VE) including women and youth radicalization, illicit trafficking and terrorist-linked security threats.
Currently, the region has a growing number of terrorist movements and some countries including Nigeria, Niger and Chad are also facing attacks by Boko-Haram. These various terrorist movements lead to crises that degrade the security situation in the Sahelo-Sahelian strip.
The security fragility is characterized by mass killings, drug, arms and human trafficking, abductions and kidnappings, individual and collective rapes, forced and early marriages, collective marriages, sexual slavery of women and girls and other forms of violence against women.
The presence of such terrorist groups lead to crises that further degrade the security situation in the Sahelo-Sahelian strip.
Empirical evidence from research has pointed to the need to take women’s rights into account and involve them in peace efforts as underlined in the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and all the subsequent reso¬lutions on Women, Peace and Security.
Although the effects of terrorism, violent extremism and community conflicts in the Sahel have an adverse impact on both men and women, they have a disproportionate impact on women and girls.
Armed conflicts and increase in terrorism has resulted in mass displacements within and outside the Sahel region, with adverse effects on populations and especially on women and children.
Of particular concern is the security of women and girls, risk of sexual violence, deepening poverty and their ability to cope with the heavy burden of care during crisis.
The protection of women will need gender sensitive security reform in all countries, gender and human rights respect by the different forces in the region) and the protection of women in humanitarian situation. It is at the same time crucial to emphasize women’s leadership and contributions to addressing the current security crisis in the Sahel by building on ongoing initiatives and achievements recorded at regional level, to strengthen and consolidate women’s voice and agency as an inseparable value and important ingredient to securing stability and economic growth in the Sahel region.
In this context, UNWOMEN has developed a regional flagship programme entitled: “Programme to accelerate the implementation of the women’s peace and security agenda for better conflict prevention and peacebuilding in the sahel region”.
The Overall objective of this program is promoting sustainable peace through greater participation of women in efforts to prevent and counter Violent extremism and community conflicts in the G5 Sahel. It aims to achieve 3 key results:
A conducive environment to the implementation of commitments and norms on women, peace and security is strengthened at national and regional level
Women’s civil society groups are capacitated to engage in strategies to prevent extremist violence and promote social cohesion
Women and children are better respected both in conflict situation and in the fight against violent extremism and terrorism
