CFEO and Enclave Oecusse

CFEO And OECUSSI ENCLAVE District
Oecussi enclave, some 815 km2 in area, is located 80 km west of contiguous East Timor, surrounded by Indonesian West Timor, on the north shore of the island of Timor. It comprises 15% of East Timor’s territory.

The Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in Timor in 1515 at Lifau, Oecussi. Oecussi acted as capital of Portuguese Timor until a hostile local Kingdom and the prospects of a better harbour
caused the Portuguese to shift their capital to Dili in the 1760s.

The Constitution of the Democratic Republic of East Timor was adopted on 22 March 2002 and recognizes the special status of Oecussi.

Section 5.3 - Decentralisation
“Oecussi Ambeno … shall enjoy special administrative and economic treatment.”

Section 71.2 – Administrative Organisation
“Oecussi Ambeno shall be governed by a special administrative policy and economic regime.”

CFEO Gender Issues
Oecussi, like in other parts of East Timor, has a strongly patriarchal culture and clear gender based roles. Domestic violence is commonplace, girls are less likely to receive education than boys, women are drastically under represented in the workplace, women rarely participate in public debates, there are no female traditional leaders, these are but a few indicators of the disadvantaged female populace.

The Gender Committee commenced in February 2001, comprising of women from a range of political and social interest groups. In November 2001, the Gender Committee became an independent women's NGO, Centro Feto Enclave Oecusse, and received start up funding from the Finnish Government. Centro Feto are in the process of establishing a victim support service for women and children who are victims of sexual or family violence. This includes a role in the management of the Oecusse Safe House, a secure facility to provide short term accommodation to women and children fleeing violence. Centro Feto have commenced a public information campaign on family violence, in
coordination with the men's group who are also working on this issue. Centro Feto have been the architects of creative functions to promote women's rights including:
A "tais" fashion parade.
A drama depicting the complexities of family violence.
A women's soccer match.
A traditional foods exhibition and competition
