Hey there!

✋

The past year proved to be transformative and adaptive for our team. We extended our focus beyond simply understanding our boundaries, now incorporating a more rational approach to measuring and qualitatively fulfilling our priorities & objectives.

On one hand, despite the increasing cases of genderbased violence that we are trying to combat with, and the changes in the socio-political landscape, on the other, we remain dedicated to positively influencing the lives of young people; women in particular.

In 2023, aligned with the 4 Sustainable Development Goals and guided by our 4 priority areas, we facilitated the participation of 8 young human rights advocates at the UN Headquarters in Geneva, our first international activity. We supported 14 women entrepreneurs in establishing their businesses and assisted 92 women in business development. One of the local follow-up activities of the teachers we have trained from Lankaran was selected as the best success story in the Caucasus region and many more.

I am proud to share that, as the only organization from Azerbaijan, Gender Hub was honored with the CAREC Gender Equality Award for its outstanding work. In a significant milestone, our advocacy efforts gained recognition at the level of President Barack Obama.

Our voice echoed from Brussels to California.

Hello,

✋

As the Gender Hub Azerbaijan team, we are pleased to present our 2023 annual impact report to our community members, partners and all our supporters who helped to make our achievements in 2023 possible.

2023 was a year that encouraged our team to launch crucial projects specifically focusing on human rights education, advocacy for gender equality and promotion of women's access to rights. For the first time in the history of CEDAW sessions, 10 young lawyers and human rights educators from Azerbaijan had the chance to attend the CEDAW session and listen to the reports of other UN member states on gender-based violence issues and cases in their countries.

One of the main strategic priorities for our organization is to ensure the sustainability of our activities and encourage our beneficiaries to become multipliers of impact created through our work by engaging in result-oriented follow-up work.

For example, we could observe activities organized by local school teachers with students.

Our team joined forces with various partners to implement the DigitALL conference dedicated to #IWD2023, as well as other projects within the #16DaysofActivism campaign to raise awareness and address the impact of gender-based violence through an artistic performance that touched the experiences and emotions of the audience.

As the Gender Hub Azerbaijan team, we are proud of our achievements and continue building on the lessons learned throughout our work.

SDG REPORT

Undoubtedly, Gender Equality, the 5th Sustainable Development Goal, holds the utmost priority for us. It is closely aligned with our targeted themes each year, and we strive to support and reinforce them mutually.

For instance, if we fail to achieve the Quality Education goal, SDG #4, we may also struggle to attain Gender Equality. Therefore, we have anchored our projects to the following objectives to build a just and equitable society.

Quality Education

Decent Work and Economic Growth

4 8 10 16 Centered on Human Rights Education, “Ambassadors of Gender Equality in Education” and “Human Rights Education for Young Activists and Lawyers” projects engaged 315 predominantly female participants in non-formal education initiatives to promote global citizenship and diversity. Through these endeavors, we have contributed to Target 4.7.

Reduced Inequalities

Despite advancements in digitization, gender disparities persist. Within the framework of the DigitALL project, we've addressed digital inequality alongside 55 young girls.

Simultaneously, our initiatives supporting women in business aim to bridge the entrepreneurship gap and eliminate regional disparities, including empowering teachers in rural areas, contributing to Target 10.2.

Through the Women in Business mentorship program, 26 women participated, and 80 women, within the framework of the Woman Bazaar festival, attended entrepreneurship and business development training, realizing their ideas and advancing to new stages. By supporting economic empowerment and gender equality in earnings for female entrepreneurs, these initiatives have contributed to achieving Indicator 8.6.1.

Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions

Empowering women's participation, we have actively promoted the UN Resolution 1325 agenda through both online and offline channels. Our regional initiatives have reached over 280 teachers and students, fostering inclusivity and awareness. In our commitment to advancing gender justice in human rights research, we conducted practical training for 25 activists and legal practitioners. We believe this has contributed to achieving Target 16.b.

2024 CLIMATE PRIORITY AREAS

HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION

We're all about spreading the idea that everyone should be treated equally and with respect. In everything we do, we make sure to teach people about their rights, especially focusing on young folks. We follow the Council of Europe's approach to help young people understand and embrace the importance of human rights.

1325

Every year, we see that peace, especially in social and political aspects, becomes a more important topic. We're committed to teaming up with different groups to involve and educate women and vulnerable communities using various methods. Our goal is to help build security and awareness for everyone.

CHANGE

Climate change is a big problem that's hitting women the hardest, even though we don't talk about it enough. In 2024, during “COP29”, we want to make sure everyone pays attention to how it affects women, and we plan to bring this issue to the national spotlight.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS To tackle economic inequality and violence, it's crucial to get women involved in businesses and jobs. For the last three years, we've been working on making our women's business projects even better, following global standards and providing long-term support. Our main focus is on helping vulnerable groups, like women who lost parents, those forced to leave their homes, and others facing limited opportunities.

During the initial training sessions, women are provided with comprehensive information on both gender stereotypes and the intricacies of business and entrepreneurship.

In the mentoring phase, women have applied what they learned with their mentors to their own businesses and gained insights into the secrets of sustainable entrepreneurship through online meetings.

These women have not only successfully applied what they learned during the mentoring phase to their own businesses but have also actively participated in a marketplace, showcasing their wellinformed and developed products related to entrepreneurship.

The ratio of women engaged in the IT sector in Azerbaijan Globally, there is a significant disparity between the number of men and women working in rapidly evolving and highly paid fields of the future, such as computer science and engineering. According to statistics, women make up only 28% of those working in computer and mathematical occupations, and 15.9% in engineering and architecture professions. In the largest IT companies, women represent only 26% of the workforce.

Although there have been positive advancements towards gender equality in the ratio of women to men among those employed in the IT sector, based on information from the State Statistics Committee of Azerbaijan, women still constitute only 26% of the labor force in technological fields. Unfortunately, this trend is further confirmed by the fact that women who receive education in STEAM fields in higher education institutions make up only 11% of the total.

During the mentorship phase of the project, 24 participants were organized into 9 diverse teams. Each team was paired with a mentor to support young individuals based on their unique experiences and skills.

They were given a three-month timeframe, along with a project plan and an allocated budget, to collaborate on their proposed team objectives. A total of 12 training sessions, informative gatherings, psychological sessions, social theater programs were developed and executed, engaging over 500 participants across 7 regions of Azerbaijan, including Baku, Ganja, Shamkir, Mingachevir, Yevlakh, Goychay, and Zardab.

During the project, we spent six months diving into gender and legal perspectives. A standout experience was creating a Shadow Report to present an official report to the "CEDAW" committee for our country in its upcoming sessions.

ZUBEYIR BAGHIRZADE

Additionally, our teams wrote 5 publications, covering various topics: an alternative "CEDAW" report, a detailed look at a real violence case along with the translation of the "CEDAW" committee's decision, a study on women in workplaces, a comparative analysis of laws and policies addressing genderbased violence in Azerbaijan and Europe, and an article on the best global practices against violence on women.

At the same time, to integrate a gender perspective into the process of human rights education and research in Azerbaijan, two booklets prepared by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights have been translated into Azerbaijani.

The translated booklets have been approved by the United Nations Headquarters in New York, and all rights are reserved.

ORANGE THE WORLD Within the framework of a 16-day campaign, a delicate art performance took place where women, who have faced violence, narrated their own stories under audio.

The performance expressed instances of violence encountered by women and girls in daily life, rooted in patriarchal values upheld by society.

The second stage of the event involved a panel discussion with the participation of various interested parties, including government agencies, universities, representatives of civil society, as well as activists. The discussion focused on ways to change harmful stereotypes and beliefs that society has formed against women and girls. The responsibilities of government institutions and civil society in combating gender-based stereotypes, promoting positive change, providing a platform for women and girls to demand their rights, and the importance of investing in these efforts were discussed.

In the event, speeches were given by Vladanka Andreeva, the United Nations Resident Coordinator, Tobias Lorentzson, the Ambassador of Sweden to Azerbaijan, and Fergus Auld, British Ambassador to Azerbaijan.
