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.
Placing women’s rights at the center of all its efforts, the UN Women leads and coordinates the United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.
Following the outbreak of fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces on 15th May 2023, UN WOMEN conducted a Rapid Gender Assessment (RGA) from May 10 to May 20, 2023 that covered the states of Khartoum, Blue Nile, Red Sea, White Nile, and Darfur. Among the issues that the RGA revealed is that women and girls were experiencing appalling levels of Gender-Based Violence (GBV), a classic phenomenon in a country experiencing intense levels of armed conflict. Since April 15, 2023 it is estimated that the number of those in need of GBV services has increased from 3.1 million (before the crisis) to 4.4 million). However, it was also observed that women and female youths were nonetheless taking the lead in several informal community structures, local NGOs and Community-based organizations in the management and distribution of humanitarian aid. The de facto weakening of traditional patriarchal structures in the context of the conflict is a hugely important opportunity for women and women youth to play a key role in the required humanitarian response, ensuring that gender-based needs are being met but also proving the decision-making role women can have in society. With some urgent capacity building measures, women and youth could undertake these roles even more effectively to the benefit of their entire communities.
Against the IASC Gender Policy and Accountability Framework commitments and priorities, there is an urgent need for the Humanitarian system to scale up its efforts to advance the protection and leadership of crisis affected and forcibly displaced populations with specific focus on the rights, needs and priorities of women and girls.
Reporting to the Country Representative, the Gender in Humanitarian Action Gender Specialist to the Resident Coordinator (RC) is tasked with enhancing gender equality integration and the meaningful participation of women and girls in the broader Sudan humanitarian response.

Notes:
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
