CAWTAR
CAWTAR was established in 1993 by the Arab Gulf Programme for United Nations Development Organizations (AGFUND), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Tunisian Government.

The establishment of the Center coincided with the preparation of the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1994. It was, however, a direct response to a long-felt need in the Arab region for a specialized center to promote the participation of Arab women in the development process.
CAWTAR’s main objectives are:

  • To contribute to developing and reinforcing a new vision of the Arab woman, as well as changing the traditional view of gender roles in the process of social development;
  • To contribute to raising awareness among policy-makers, planners, interest groups, institutions and the general public about the current situation of Arab women and their real and potential contributions to national development;
  • To contribute to enhancing capacity building of governments’ institutions and NGOs to monitor and analyze women’s changing roles, design appropriate policies, programs and projects that will facilitate women’s participation in the development process;
To coordinate efforts among governments, non-governmental national, regional and/or international organizations operating in the field of women’s development in order to achieve common goals.
The Foundation Peace and Solidarity is a non governmental organisation created in 1989 by the trade Union “Working Commission” which deals with international development cooperation. The solidarity and rights constitute the identity features of the Foundation Peace and Solidarity, created to cooperate to economic and social development of people, to promote human rights and to fight poverty, to favourite democratic and class syndicalism in the countries where the Foundation Peace and Solidarity has fixed its intervention priorities; the Foundation Peace and Solidarity aims to sensitize also Spanish male and female workers about economic, social and working issues worldwide and to be involved in international cooperation actions.

The ITUC was founded at its inaugural Congress in Vienna, Austria, on 1 -3 November 2006. The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) is the main international trade union organization, representing the interests of working people worldwide. It has 301 affiliated member organizations in 151 countries and territories, with a total membership of 176 million workers.
Considering that gender issue is a universal reality in the job market and in the society as a whole, the ITUC has organized an Equality Department whose main objective is to permit women workers to  live and work in conditions of equality, dignity and justice.
