The Pioneers-Raedat Activity is intended to leverage womens potential to create ripple effects that shift gender-based power relations within the Palestinian community. This Activity will improve institutional frameworks and processes in select sectors to ensure they align with legal requirements and international best practice (both existing and new that might be advanced through implementation) for the inclusion of women. It will also support communities to develop the necessary tools to promote womens inclusion in activities outside the home; build the capacity and confidence of individual women by engaging institutions of higher education and civil society; develop male allies, political structures, and the private sector; and strengthen public awareness and advocacy around womens issues, including gender-based violence (GBV). The Activity acknowledges the pervasiveness of gender-based violence and will field interventions that challenge the status quo in a manner fully complimentary of existing U.S. funded interventions on the topic, including awareness raising, gender-based violence in the workplace, behavior change, and economic empowerment for women survivors.
