EuroMed Feminist Initiative provides expertise in the field of gender equality and advocates for women’s universal human rights as inseparable from democracy building and citizenship, for political solutions to all conflicts, and for the right of peoples to self-determination.
The Regional Civil Society Observatory (RCSO) on violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a civil society mechanism to follow up on the implementation of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) Ministerial Process and Declarations on strengthening the role of women in society, in particular in the area of combating all forms of VAWG and Women, Peace and Security (WPSA).
The Regional Observatory aims at producing knowledge and enhancing the understanding and awareness of VAWG and its continuum in peace times and armed conflicts, as well as of the implementation of WPSA. To this goal, the Regional Observatory identifies gaps, collects and analyses data on existing laws, and in all areas of life, and provides recommendations to support a better informed and evidence-based policymaking and legislation towards ending of VAWG.
