UN-Women
2024
The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women) is a global champion for women and girls worldwide, advocating to improve their livelihoods. UN-Women seeks to: support inter-governmental bodies, such as the Commission on the Status of Women, in their formulation of policies, global standards, and norms; help Member States to implement these standards—standing ready to provide suitable technical and financial support to countries that request it; forge effective partnerships with civil society; and lead and coordinate the UN system’s work on gender equality as well as promote accountability. UN-Women works closely with government entities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), UN agencies, and other intergovernmental organizations to implement their programs across national boundaries and at regional levels.
The organization’s flagship report, Progress of the World’s Women features global, regional, and national data showcasing the state of gender equality and progress. Additionally, individuals can access key reports and news stories highlighting the transnational experiences of women and girls.
