International criminal groups, whose activities often include other forms of illicit trade such as smuggling of drugs and arms, often control trafficking in persons as well. In addition to abusing human rights, and violating labour and migration laws, trafficking in persons is also a problem of national and international security. Through the generous support of donor governments, IOM has established itself as an important agency in combating trafficking, addressing first of all the most vulnerable groups of victims: women and children. IOM strategy of tackling trafficking in women in the Baltic States consists of three consecutive steps, each creating foundation for subsequent activities. (1) The first step was research in trafficking in women. Having covered both legal and sociological dimensions, the completed research produced a clear and systematic picture of trafficking in women in the Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, outlining the main patterns and modalities, as well as the most vulnerable areas and greatest damage done, both to individuals as well as to societal stability. (2) On the basis of the research insights, an Information Campaign is being carried out - thanks first of all to generous funding from the Swedish Government - in order to raise public awareness of the dangers of trafficking in women in the three Baltic States. Besides societies in general, numerous specialised components of the information campaign will be targeted at the high risk groups, particularly young women in a disadvantaged economical situation, turning their attention to the lurking dangers of trafficking and promoting well informed responses. (3) The third step is Technical Co- operation with the Baltic States in order to enhance their administrative capacity to combat trafficking in women, and to ensure successful prevention. This last module will cover both governmental entities as well as non-governmental organisations, which have a crucial role to play in combating trafficking in women. The Regional Seminar took place in Vilnius, Lithuania on 15-16 October

  • (2015). the Policy on Gender Equality in Latvia
    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS' RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS WOMEN'S RIGHTS & GENDER EQUALITY The Policy on Gender Equality in Latvia IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS Abstract Upon request by the FEMM Committee, this in-depth analysis provides an overview of the existing gender equality legislation, policies and practices in Latvia. The note discusses gender equality in decision making, employment, reconciliation of work and family life, eradication of violence against women, and regarding health and reproductive rights. Gender equality being a relatively new policy area in Latvia, substantial progress has been made in the last decade through the implementation of EU legislation and the work of non-governmental organizations. However, more work needs to be done in order to reach gender equality.

  • A Guide on Employment of Older Women Workers in Estoniapdf
    GENPROM Series on Gender in Life Cycle A Guide on Employment of Older Women Workers in Estonia Gender Promotion Programme International Labour Office Geneva Foreword The Employment of Older Women Workers in Estonia is a guide for organizing workshops for training and awareness raising on the recruiting, hiring, training and managing of older women workers. The conception of the guide arose out of analytical work undertaken by GENPROM, which earlier published a monograph entitled Realizing decent work for older women workers. The research undertaken and practical project activities in Estonia highlighted the double discrimination faced by older women workers in terms of age and gender. This guide, therefore, is to respond to the need to combat such double discrimination. It addresses government policy makers, employers and workers’ organizations, as well as NGOs and community- based organizations working in the areas of promotion of equal rights and employment for older workers, in particular women. The guide was developed in the context of Estonia, but it can also be adapted to other countries facing similar problems. The guide aims at raising awareness of the issues of ageing and the specific discriminatory situations that older workers, particularly women face. To combat such discrimination, the guide draws attention to various tested methods used by different types of organizations, such as governmental bodies, employers and community and non-governmental organizations. The guide is also available in Estonian. Ms. Susan Roche together with her consultancy team, developed and wrote the guide, with funding provided by the Government of the Netherlands. Ms. Naoko Otobe, Senior Employment and Gender Specialist (GENPROM) provided technical supervision for the development of the guide, and facilitated its validation with the ILO constituents in Estonia, with the support of Ms.

  • Comprehensive National-Level Review Estonia
    Twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995) Comprehensive national-level review Estonia 2019 Section One: Priorities, achievements, challenges and setbacks 1. What have been the most important achievements, challenges and set-backs in progress towards gender equality and the empowerment of women over the past 5 years? Achievements Strategic framework In 2015, the Government of the Republic approved the “Strategy for Preventing Violence in 2015-2020”1, encompassing violence between children, abuse of children, domestic violence, sexual violence and trafficking in human beings, and aiming to achieve a situation in which violence is not tolerated in society, violence is noticed and it is interrupted. The aim is also that victims of violence would be protected and would receive help, that work would be conducted with abusers and in relation to prevention of violence. In order to achieve the Strategy’s overall goal, 4 sub-goals have been set: people’s skills in avoiding, recognising and intervening in violence have improved; protection and support of violence victims corresponding to their needs is better ensured; proceedings of violence cases are more victim-friendly; treatment of perpetrators of violence is more effective and their repeat offending has decreased. In the strategy, violence prevention is addressed at three levels of prevention – universal prevention, protection of victims and dealing with consequences of violence. Firstly, the strategy addresses public awareness and education of people; secondly, it focuses on the risk of falling victim or committing an offense; and thirdly, the consequences of violence are addressed through the strategy, providing support measures to victims and interventions to violent offenders.

  • The Place of Non-Estonian Speaking Women in Contemporary Estonia
    Mobilization of Estonian and Russian-speaking women in contemporary Estonia. By Erzsébet Kovács Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies. Supervisor: Professor Susan Zimmerman Budapest, Hungary 2010 CEU eTD Collection Abstract With the fall of the Soviet Union a huge Russian-speaking population found itself being “economic immigrants” with seriously limited rights and legal status, even though they did not change their place of living and some of them do not have a passport at all. This thesis explores the mobilization of Estonian women and Russian- speaking women in contemporary Estonia. The Estonian society is full of serious anti-Russian attitude that can be clearly depicted in the agenda of Estonian women’s NGOs. These organizations do not incorporate the agenda of Russian-speaking women, although claim the universality of women’s needs. Russian-speaking women in turn form cultural organizations only which do not pursue an openly politicized gender agenda. This mirrors the inferior position of the Russian minority. Their needs are accommodated only in both- sex human rights based internationally funded consulting agencies, which also marginalize and neglect the gender issues, following patriarchal similar logic of domination, admitting the supremacy of ethnicity over gender – as the Estonian women’s NGOs do.
