Community safety through women's eyes. A Jamaican Journey
Huairou/Groots Jamaica; leading responsible party of the Strengthening Community Safety through Local Government Capacity Building Project , one of the initiatives of UNDP Governance Unit; has produced a short movie focusing on community safety trough women's eyes in the communities of Newland (Portmore) and Canaan Heights (Clarendon). The project, funded by United Nations Development Programme, has provided both support and opportunities for women to take actions for safer communities.
Short Project Description:
Objective: The initiative aims to strengthen government and local authorities in making communities safer for women and thereby safer for all.
Results expected: Assessment of the local context for women's safety; safety audit recommendations implemented; empowerment of women in selected communities; improved capacity of local authorities to address gender in development planning and implementation.
Profile: Insecurity and fear of violence and harassment can limit the mobility of women and girls, restrict their work or education choices, and violence itself has huge social and economic costs for all of society. Women's safety in the public space is also an issue of participation and governance: greater involvement of women in community planning and management is needed. It seeks to make communities safer and address the issues of insecurity and violence against the entire community, local authorities must engage women and girls in decision-making and bring a gendered approach to governance. Local governments have a vital role and responsibility in engaging women and men as equals in municipal decision-making.
