Part-time Project Coordinator

Background: HIV and Violence Against Women in MENA region:

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is characterized by gender inequality and harmful gender norms. Many deep, gendered inequalities are embedded in law, culture and traditional practices, and these inequalities underpin high levels of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Violence Against Women (VAW). LEARN MENA is the first project to explore and address the linkages between violence against women and HIV in the MENA region that was led by, with, and for women living with and affected by HIV. It was implemented by MENA Rosa, UNAIDS Middle East and North Africa Regional Support Team, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance.

At the heart of the project is the Actions Linking Initiatives on Violence Against Women and HIV Everywhere (ALIV[H]E) framework. This participatory tool brought together evidence on what works to prevent violence and increases women’s awareness to understand and address the linkages between violence against women and HIV in their own communities.

Purpose of the Project

             MENA Rosa wishes to build on this momentum towards a sustainable response, especially in Lebanon. The project aims to:

• Identify civil society partners both within the HIV and women’s rights/gender equality movements that can support the work moving forward.
• Development of a consolidated agenda for addressing GBV-HIV linkages.
• Mobilize national stakeholder support for advocacy and programmatic responses.
• Refine the specific focus and added value of the ALIV[H]E approach at country level, including sub-populations of women affected by HIV and GBV.
