In trade unions working in Tea, Mining, and Education, women are significantly underrepresented, both in the workplace, TU committees, and at the top of the TU federation, including professional TU structures at the national level. It is, therefore, necessary to look for the causes to remedy this situation. The only way to ascertain whether trade unions benefit women and men equally is to perform a gender audit.

The gender audit will draw a baseline picture of the COTRAF`s trade unions on the participation of women and men in the structures and raise women's awareness of about barriers to meaningful and inclusive participation. Our assumption is that women are less involved than men in the leadership and governance of trade unions and even tend to avoid them. Therefore, the objective of the gender audit in COTRAF`s unions is to promote learning on how to implement gender mainstreaming effectively in their policies, programs, and structures as well as to assess the progress made in achieving gender equality and equity.
Please find full announcement and application procedures here : ( pdf )
The consultant will submit an expression of interest to COTRAF-RWANDA at (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and to FES at (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) before 23/09/ 2022 at 5 PM.
