Background and programme description
Violence against women and girls (VAW) is one of the most prevalent human rights violations in the world. It knows no social, economic or national boundaries. Gender-based violence (GBV) undermines health, dignity, security and autonomy of its victims, yet it remains shrouded in a culture of silence. Victims of violence can suffer sexual and reproductive health consequences. GBV remains widespread in Ukraine and the armed conflict in the eastern part of Ukraine has resulted in increased risks of gender-based violence.
UNFPA programme “Integrated Response to end gender-based violence against vulnerable women and adolescent girls in Ukraine” is aimed at improvement of the status of women through strengthening Government of Ukraine (central and local) capacities, improvement of mechanisms, advancement of policies and improvement of conditions for the implementation of the measures and legislation that foresee a society that values gender equality as an indispensable prerequisite to sustainable development, aiming towards zero tolerance of gender-based violence.Within the framework of its programme, in 2015 UNFPA launched a national information and awareness raising campaign “Break the Circle” with a purpose to raise awareness on GBV issues and available response services for GBV survivors, including PSS mobile teams and national hotline and promoting zero tolerance to gender-based violence in the society The creative idea of the campaign is based on the concept of «Break the Circle», presuming that tolerating violence and without requesting help, violence generates more violence and the victim suffers more and more. Violence can no longer remain the concern of the victim, but become the concern of all of society seeking to change.
In 2018 new strategy for communication campaign “Break the Circle” was developed. Its primary goal is newly defined as changing attitude towards violence against women and gender based violence in the Ukrainian society to zero tolerance and cooperation.
This strategy seeks to change the views and minds of individuals by calling on all members of society (in particular boys and men) to change attitudes. In essence, it is a renewed call for greater equality between women and men and freedom from gender stereotypes, as the scale of violence is closely connected with the level of equality in a society, while gender roles and gender stereotypes determine how violence against women and girls is perceived and responded to. This is also because GBV is deeply rooted in the inequality between women and men as well as imbalanced gender expectations, which are further perpetuated by a culture of tolerance and denial of the existence and prevalence of violence.
Within the new strategy, idea for the new video, that translates key message, was elaborated.
Scope of work
Under the overall supervision of UNFPA Communication Assistant the selected provider will be expected to produce a short video clip (up to 30 sec), to highlight the main idea of the campaign – “we keep tolerating violence, because it is deeply rooted into our culture, education and minds as something inherited from previous generations and considered as an everyday norm, thus violence remains hidden though widely spread. Violence should not be tolerated”.
Script idea of the video as well as script sample will be shared with all interested companies during the pre-bidding conference (II Questions).
