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 UAE, under the patronage of H.H. Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak and the leadership of the General Women Union (GWU), has played a unique role in advancing the implementation of Security Council Resolution (SCR)1325 (2000) and the broader Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. The UAE was the first GCC country to launch a National Action Plan (NAP) for its implementation. In September 2022, it hosted the MENA region’s first high-level international conference for WPS in Abu Dhabi, highlighting the UAE’s leadership in implementing UNSCR 1325 and supporting women’s integration into decision-making.
As an elected member of the Security Council during its term in 2022-2023, the UAE actively advocated for women’s organizations to receive a greater share of development assistance and pushed for more women to be appointed to leadership roles in conflict resolution, preventative diplomacy, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. In June 2021, building on the milestones of the Training Initiative, the GWU, with technical support from UN Women, launched the Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Women, Peace and Security Center of Excellence. This pivotal platform fosters international collaboration and advances the WPS agenda, enhancing the skills of stakeholders in WPS initiatives, with UN Women’s support ensuring its alignment with global priorities in promoting women’s roles in peace and security.
One of the flagship initiatives of the UAE is the Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Women, Peace and Security Initiative, an annual comprehensive nine-week programme organized by the GWU in collaboration with the Ministry of Defense (MOD), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), and in coordination with UN Women. This initiative contributes to gender-responsive security sectors in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia through seven weeks of intensive military training and two weeks dedicated to peacebuilding and peacekeeping training. Since its launch in January 2019, over 500 women from 20 African, Asian, and Arab countries have been trained under this initiative in Abu Dhabi.
Under the supervision of the Head of Liaison Office, GCC, and in close coordination with the Programme Specialist, the staff will be responsible for supporting the implementation of the UAE National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, building capacities, raising awareness, organizing events and meetings, and advancing the WPS agenda in the UAE, as well as at regional and global levels. This role involves extensive collaboration with national and international stakeholders, as well as managing and enhancing training programmes and conducting policy research.
