Tender Details

Quotation are invited for Consultancy Service - Engaging Men through Accountable Practice (EMAP) Remote Consultant.

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organization working in Myanmar since 2009 in response to cyclone Giri and currently supporting displacement-affected communities in three different States (Kachin, Northern Shan, Rakhine). DRC expanded its program beyond protection to include the provision of shelter, WASH, NFIs, livelihood support and community assistance to the people affected by the June and October 2012 events in Rakhine State. DRC aims to make available immediate relief and protection to displaced people and vulnerable host communities in an impartial, inclusive and neutral manner, adhering to DRC's Code of Conduct and core Humanitarian Principles.

Research has shown that women, in both Rakhine and Rohingya villages are disproportionately affected by issues such as displacement and conflicts and face additional issues such as an increased risk of Gender-based Violence (GBV), extremely limited economic opportunities, and face a higher likelihood of engaging in harmful coping strategies. Rohingya women in particular face multiple threats to their safety in their homes (camp) and in the community. A rapid assessment conducted by the GBV service providers on the protection situation for women concluded that sexual harassment, sexual assault and all forms of domestic violence were prevalent in this community. This finding has been corroborated by conversations with women group members who report, using laughter to mask discomfort, that some acts of intimate partner violence are frequent and can be acceptable in cases in which women have made mistakes or when couples disagree'. Women and adolescent girls interviewed in safety audits also report being fearful of going to latrines or of walking to neighboring villages at night due to the risk of being physically attacked, sexually harassed, or sexually assaulted.

DRC addresses some of these protection concerns by making available GBV response services and enhancing women and girl-s support systems in order to mitigate risks and enable survivors to recover from the effects of violence. DRC recognizes the important role that men can play in preventing violence against women and girls (VAWG) and the importance of making them allies for women and girls. Therefore, DRC is planning to conduct Engaging men through accountable practices (EMAP) training for GBV staff in order to incorporate this approach into its GBV programing.
