I. Background

Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of substantive equality between women and men. The fundamental objective of UN Women is to enhance national capacity and ownership to enable national partners to formulate gender responsive laws, policies and upscale successful strategies to deliver on national and international commitments to gender equality.

Viet Nam has 54 ethnic groups, in which Kinh is the largest, comprising 87% of the total population of Viet Nam. The 53 ethnic minorities (EMs) reside mostly in remote and mountainous areas in the Northern Mountains and Central Highlands.^[1] Although Viet Nam has made remarkable socio-economic achievements and met most targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), ethnic minorities still lag behind from the national averages in many areas. For example, while only 5.1% of the Kinh/Hoa ethnic population was below the poverty line in 2014, this figure was 29.1% for all other EM groups aggregated.^[2] Among ethnic minorities, women and girls are generally worse-off than men and boys in terms of educational attainment, economic opportunities, and access to livelihood support as well as healthcare services. Despite legal guarantees of equality – in reality, customary norms and traditions often governed inheritance, succession and marital property relations, and familial property division disadvantaged women.^[3] Limited access to land rights and property rights further adversely affects their access to credit as well as other economic and natural resources.^[4] While 78% of EM women in rural areas are self-employed in agriculture,[5] only one in five of them have their names on land use certificates.^[6]

An area of particular concern is the high ratio of child marriage among ethnic minorities and in mountainous areas. 29.5% of ethnic minority women aged 20-49 years were married before turning 18, compared to that of 6.5% among Kinh/Hoa women.[7] Child marriage closely relates to dropping out of school, childbirth at an early age, premature births, prenatal death, and reproductive health complications. Such harmful practice is tolerated due to the lack of economic and social opportunities for girls and the belief that young women are needed to undertake unpaid labour for household production and care work.^[8]

These multiple layers of depravation and challenges faced by EM women and girls have not been comprehensively understood due to lack of systematic collection of information and data which enables disaggregation for gender analysis. At the same time, laws and policies governing ethnic minorities are overlapping, inconsistent and fragmented, posing a challenge for effective and evidence-based interventions.

In this regard, UN Women Country Office in Viet Nam has been closely collaborating and assisting the Committee on Ethnic Minority Affairs (CEMA) since 2014 for the development and implementation of gender responsive ethnic minority policies and programmes in Viet Nam. CEMA is a ministerial-level agency of the Government which functions to perform the State management over ethnic minority affairs. Under the project ‘Strengthening legal framework through mainstreaming gender into ethnic minority related laws and policies in Viet Nam’, UN Women is currently supporting CEMA to conduct a gender assessment of relevant laws and policies governing EM communities. In parallel to the assessment, the project will build capacity of the legal drafters and policy makers of CEMA to respond to gender-based needs and multiple and intersecting forms of deprivations faced by EM women and girls.

II. Objective of the Consultancy

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is the authoritative legal instrument on women’s human rights and a binding source of international law for those States that have ratified it, including Viet Nam. CEDAW calls for the elimination of all forms of discrimination against EM women and girls through, but not limited to, ensuring that they are protected from intersecting forms of discrimination and have access to education, employment, water and sanitation, and health care among others.

The consultancy is aimed at equipping CEMA with knowledge and understanding of CEDAW and other international standards on gender equality and human rights, particularly concerning EM women and girls; identifying gaps in laws and policies governing EM women and girls in light of their compliance with international standards;; and proposing policy change and programme intervention to address those gaps as well as harmful practices including child marriage and its root causes by introducing international best practices.

III. Scope of Work and expected tasks

Under the overall guidance of the Country Representative, the international consultant will work under the supervision of UN Women Programme Officer in charge of project management. The consultant will lead on the following tasks, while closely working with the national consultant and engaging with national partners such as the legal drafters and policy makers of CEMA, government officers, national experts and members of civil society organizations (CSOs) working on women’s rights and ethnic minority affairs.

5. Conduct a gender and rights based analysis of the national legislative framework in collaboration with a national consultant to identify compliance gaps with international normative standards as well as overlaps and fragmentation within the national legislative framework;

Develop interview questions for key stakeholders working on ethnic minority affairs and gender equality to obtain their views on the issues and to understand their capacity to apply gender and human rights based approach to law and policy making. The national consultant will conduct the interview under the guidance of the international consultant, UN women and CEMA. (home based) 7. Develop a training module on gender and human rights based approach to law and policy making and programming for EM women and girls, particularly addressing the capacity gaps of the duty bearers. With support of the national consultant, the training will be piloted in two locations with participants including key policy makers of CEMA, line ministries, provincial government officers and CSOs. The training will include a session on theory of international human rights principles particularly that of CEDAW and CERD, and a practical session using case studies in the Vietnamese context. (home based)

7. Co-facilitate one training (two-day-long) with the national consultant to build capacity of CEMA officers and other key stakeholders engaged in the development of the Plan of Action (POA) on Gender Equality of Ethnic Minority Affairs for the period 2016-2020.
