II. Organizational Context

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 Country Programme in Brazil is implemented in line with the national development priorities, as well as in the framework of the international commitments to gender equality and empowerment of women, as well as the UN frameworks and instruments on Human Rights, of which Brazil is signatory, such as the CEDAW, CERD, Beijing Platform for Action, Durban Action Plan, Agenda 2030, as well as the UN Security Council Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security.

It is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Partnerships Framework.

The UN Women Country office in Brazil focuses on three key areas: 1) Women lead, participate in, and benefit equally from governance systems. 2) Women have income security, decent work, and economic autonomy. 3) All women and girls live a life free from all forms of violence.

Since June 2019, the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been partnering with the offices of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Brazil in addressing gender and race inequalities and violations of human rights faced by the Venezuelan women and girls amidst the mixed migration and refugee crisis.

The two sequential joint programmes - the "Leadership, Empowerment, Access and Protection (LEAP) for migrant, asylum seeker and refugee women and girls in Brazil" and the Moverse - Economic Empowerment of Refugee and Migrant Women in Brazil Joint Programme were implemented as a direct response to support the Venezuelan refugees and migrants as they continued to struggle to meet their most basic needs, including food, health care, education and housing, with the increasing cost of living, the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of documentation or regularized status, and high unemployment rates making them particularly vulnerable.

Thus, in 2023, with a conclusion of the second Joint Programme Moverse with a wealth of good practices and lessons learned, as well as a solid knowledge base of knowledge products the partners seek for institutionalization of the experiences and processes through integration of human rights and gender equality in the new generation of National Policies on Migration, Asylum, and Statelessness and institutional measures for their implementation by the state.

These policies will respond to the differentiated needs of refugee and migrant women and girls and other vulnerable groups of people facing multiple forms of discrimination beyond the group of Venezuelan refugees and migrants for the benefit of all groups of refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers in Brazil.

The "Joint Programme Human Rights and Gender Equality in the National Policies on Migration, Asylum, and Statelessness of Brazil" focuses on ensuring that all capacities developed in the last Joint Programmes evolve into public policies at the national level, reaching refugee and migrant women of all nationalities.
