Tanah Papua is characterized by diverse cultures, languages, and traditional practices. However, it also faces significant challenges, particularly regarding gender equality and access to essential services. The communities in Tanah Papua experience high levels of Gender-Based Violence (GBV), including domestic violence, which is influenced by cultural norms, economic disparities, and limited access to support services. Additionally, issues such as HIV prevalence among women further compound the challenges faced by the community. Despite efforts by the government and civil society, there remains a pressing need for comprehensive interventions to address GBV and improve access to healthcare and legal support for women in Tanah Papua.
The primary issue this project seeks to address is GBV, particularly domestic violence, in Kota Sorong. GBV encompasses various forms of violence perpetrated against individuals based on their gender, and it includes physical, sexual, psychological, and economic abuse. In Tanah Papua, GBV is prevalent due to factors such as cultural norms, economic disparities, and limited access to support services. This project aims to raise awareness, empower survivors, mobilize communities, and strengthen support systems to prevent and respond effectively to GBV. Additionally, it seeks to address related challenges, such as limited access to healthcare and legal support for survivors of GBV. By tackling GBV comprehensively, the project aims to create safer and more equitable communities in Tanah Papua. To support more detailed data collection regarding GBV at the sub-sub district level, consultants are needed to carry out assessments.
Objectives
The primary objective of this project is to conduct a comprehensive GBV analysis report in a specific sub-district of Tanah Papua. The report aims to assess the prevalence, patterns, and underlying drivers of GBV within the sub-district, as well as the existing response mechanisms and support services available to survivors.
Scope of Work
The consultancy services will include, but are not limited to, the following tasks:
- Conduct field research in the sub-sub district to gather primary data on the prevalence, nature, and impact of GBV, including interviews, focus groups, surveys, and observation in sub-sub ditrict level
