Description of the contract The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) envisages awarding a middle-value contract for the identification and selection of a set of good practices on gender mainstreaming in the European Green Deal policy areas. Description of the requested services EIGE launches this call for tender to contract a professional service provider that will revise EIGE’s methodology and criteria for identifying good practices and selecting, in a participatory manner, a set of good practices on gender mainstreaming in the European Green Deal related policies in selected EU Member States.
Rape is an unlawful sexual act and a harmful form of sexual violence that disproportionately affects women and girls. Rape occurs in the absence of consent, the voluntary agreement between participants to engage in sexual activity. EIGE recognises the need for systematic data collection on the prevalence and frequency of rape in the EU, the effects of sexual violence on victims and the actions of Member States to prosecute and hold the perpetrators accountable.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most common form of violence against women and the most extreme form of gender discrimination. It poses a threat to the fundamental rights to dignity, liberty, security, health and, eventually, the lives of women. EU Member States have not established a common definition for IPV, which means it is understood and measured differently across jurisdictions.
Femicide is an extreme form of gender-based violence, defined broadly as ‘the killing of a woman or girl because of her gender’. EU and international institutions use various terms to refer to femicide, including ‘gender-related killing of women’ and ‘feminicide’. In 2020, 47 000 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members. In 2019, while women accounted for only 19 % of total homicide victims, they comprised:
The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE)[1] invites applications with a view to establishing a reserve list for Seconded National Expert (SNE) – Gender-Based Violence (GBV). The registration of applications will begin on 9 February 2023 and will close on 31 March 2023 at 13:00 Eastern European Time (EET). The deadline has been extended to 17 April 2023 at 13:00 EET.
Femicide, commonly understood as the killing of a woman or girl because of her gender, is the most extreme form of gender-based violence, deeply rooted in the inequalities between men and women in society. It is estimated that, globally, around 47 000 women and girls were killed by their intimate partners or other family members in 2020, and around 2 600 were killed in Europe (UNODC, 2021a).
This technical report presents the methodological aspects of the online survey on gender equality and socioeconomic consequences of COVID-19 carried out by the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE). The survey was implemented in all 27 EU Member States from June–July 2021 and its results are presented in the Gender Equality Index 2022 – The COVID-19 pandemic and care. This technical report gives detailed information on the survey process, from its design to data processing, cleaning and weighting.
Femicide continues to be widespread around the globe. In 2020 the global estimation of femicide shows that 47 000 women were killed by intimate partners or other family members worldwide and around 2 600 in Europe. However, the number of victims is in fact much higher. Orphaned children, bereaved parents and siblings of murdered women are rarely considered as direct victims.
Gender-responsive evaluation is an assessment aimed at: independently measuring progress towards achieving intended gender-related objectives and goals set out in policies, programmes and projects evaluating from a gender perspective the relevant processes, activities, outputs, outcomes and impacts of an intervention. As a gender mainstreaming method, gender-responsive evaluation is applicable to all types of interventions, including those not necessarily aimed at gender equality and gender-specific interventions.
This tender is announced with a view to select the best proposal for the implementation of the project “Collection of Good Practices on Gender Mainstreaming in the European Green Deal”. The contract is carried out within the framework of EIGE’s work on policy support on gender mainstreaming. The submitted work shall revise the methodology and criteria for identifying good practices and select a set of good practices in the European Green Deal related policies.
