recommendations:

title:

Design tailored interventions specifically targeting women domestic workers to address and ease both legal and practical challenges they face in accessing social protection that leads to their increased vulnerabilities. Additionally, ensure a systematic integration of a gender-transformative perspective throughout project activities, in alignment with the ILO’s mandate on gender equality. This requires careful allocation of financial and human resources and time to examine gender-specific constraints and barriers, particularly in sectors like domestic work. Conducting comprehensive country gender analyses and engaging with women NGOs/ associations, national gender machinery, development partners and relevant stakeholders to address disparities in social protection coverage.

action_plan:

STREAM awards focus to the extension of coverage to domestic workers in a transversal manner whether in legal reforms, improvement of effective access whenever available, in dialogue participation, and in producing knowledge dedicated to this vulnerable group. STREAM has completed a brief gender analysis that has informed the framework in which the log-frame has been adapted. A gender-transformative lens, based on feminist building blocks and a feminist understanding of power, is mainstreamed throughout the project activities, from outcomes to outputs to actions. The gender analysis provides the basis on which gender mainstreaming occurs across the project cycles. The analysis is now being expanded to prepare for an extended participatory approach when the new program is launched. In order to monitor the process of gender transformative change that the Program aims at achieving, STREAM and FARIWAY programmes will jointly establish and convene a Feminist Thematic Working Group of selected specialists within the ILO Gender Equality Team , with the aim of undertaking an annual stock take of both programmes activities design and results, in order to assess the progress and realign the Programme as required. The Program will engage with a gender expert under a retainer model to support the project throughout its duration and ensure that gender considerations are adequately reflected across all designed and implemented actions (which can be done jointly with FAIRWAY). Moreover, the recruitment strategy of the program would award special focus to the gender expertise of all candidates, which will be considered as one of the selection criteria
