UN Women is the UN organization dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment
of Women. a global champion for Women and girls, UN Women Was established to
accelerate progress on meeting their needs Worldwide. UN Women supports UN Member States as they set global standards for achieving gender equality, and works with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programmes and services needed to implement these standards. It stands behind women’s equal participation in all aspects of life, focusing on five priority areas: increasing women’s leadership and participation; ending violence against women; engaging women in all aspects
of peace and security processes; enhancing women’s economic empowerment; and making gender equality central to national development planning and budgeting. UN Women also coordinates and promotes the UN system’s work in advancing gender equality. Gender inequality, despite much progress, remains among the greatest challenges of the
times. Fed by deeply embedded discrimination against women and girls, it is wrong and costly, whether it interrupts economic progress, undercuts peace or restricts the quality of leadership. Ending it should be foremost among global and national goals. UN Women, as the world’s champion of gender equality and women’s empowerment, works to stop the causes and reduce the consequences of gender inequality.
