La COSUDE promueve los derechos de las mujeres y de las niñas en los conflictos y adopta medidas para prevenir la violencia de género. Fomenta, además, la participación de las mujeres en los procesos de paz, de transformación y de construcción del Estado.
Fortalecer los derechos de las mujeres y de las niñas en contextos frágiles e integrar la dimensión de género en sus estrategias y proyectos conforme al Plan de Acción Nacional 1325 (PAN 1325) es un objetivo fundamental para la COSUDE. Mediante el PAN 1325, Suiza cumple con los compromisos de la Resolución 1325 del Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas, aprobada en el año 2000, que fue la primera en mencionar las consecuencias de los conflictos armados en las mujeres y las niñas. Al mismo tiempo, la Resolución 1325 se distingue por destacar la importancia fundamental de la participación de las mujeres para el éxito de los procesos de paz.
La COSUDE persigue dos objetivos principales para aplicar esa Resolución:
1. Intensificar sus actividades en materia de prevención y protección frente a la violencia de género, prestando una atención especial a las fases posteriores al conflicto (contextos de posconflicto), así como a las crisis humanitarias. La COSUDE concede especial importancia a la implicación de los hombres y de los chicos en sus proyectos.
2. Potenciar la participación de las mujeres y la integración de la perspectiva de género en los procesos locales de paz, de transformación y de construcción del Estado.
En las situaciones de conflicto y posconflicto, las mujeres y los hombres tienen necesidades, papeles y vulnerabilidades diferentes. Así, por ejemplo, las mujeres se ven especialmente afectadas por la violencia de género. Mientras que ellas a menudo se ven rechazadas por su comunidad después de haber sido violadas, el tabú que pesa sobre la violencia sexual de los hombres ejercida sobre otros hombres es asimismo un problema importante. La COSUDE procura considerar a los hombres tanto como víctimas como perpetradores.
Además, la COSUDE intenta involucrar más a las mujeres en los procesos nacionales y locales de gobernanza y de consolidación de la paz por la innegable influencia positiva que ellas ejercen. Por otra parte, la COSUDE persigue una mayor implicación de los hombres en las actividades de prevención y de fomento de la igualdad con el fin de que ellos también sean abanderados de esta causa, no solo en interés de las mujeres sino también del conjunto de la sociedad.

The SYP program contributes to improve sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young people, thus reducing gender based health inequities. It supports the adoption, domestication and implementation of policies, and strengthens young people’s competencies on and access to SRHR services. The expansion to Tanzania and Rwanda leverages on the experience in Southern Africa financed by SDC, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)’s thematic expertise and convening power.

More health workers with the right skills are needed to achieve the SDGs, particularly in low income countries. Switzerland contributes to a joint WHO, ILO and OECD program providing catalytic support to governments, social partners and other key stakeholders to develop, finance and implement national health workforce strategies and investment plans. This will improve the supply and employment of health workers, maximise their performance, create decent jobs and accelerate progress towards UHC.

This contribution aims at improving economic empowerment and resilience of women dairy producers in Abkhazia and Samegrelo. The protracted conflict in Abkhazia impedes socio-economic development, leading to high poverty and vulnerability to external shocks, as COVID-19. Women are particularly vulnerable, as they are also victims of gender-based discrimination and domestic violence. Farmer Field Schools will empower women by enhancing their technical and leadership skills.

Decent work and income security for women is the objective of Switzerland’s contribution to the joint ILO/UN Women programme. It will bring gender into the focus of macro-level and national policy planning, helping to translate global research into national action. Switzerland supports this systemic approach as it strengthens the economic independence of women and men. Switzerland provides direct channels to link the international policy dialogue in Geneva with countries in the global South.

South Kordofan is one of the areas in Sudan were the armed conflict is temporarily halted, but not yet solved, and many communities are still suffering from its consequences. These communities are hosting significant numbers of IDPs and refugees from war torn South Sudan, who share the very limited available resources. The project aims at increasing the resilience of female and male members of vulnerable households to economic, social and climate related shocks through improved access to gender responsive basic services and increased agricultural production.
