United Nations Entity For Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women
|
Created in July 2010, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) promotes gender equality not just as an inalienable human right but as a central tenet of social, economic and cultural development. It provides a strong and resonant voice for women and girls at the local, regional and global levels and 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 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 United Nations system’s work in advancing gender equality, bringing together a range of United Nations resources and mandates, leading to greater focus and impact. In June 2012, UN Women became the eleventh Cosponsor of UNAIDS,an important step towards ensuring that gender equality is at the heart of global action on HIV. UN Women supports efforts to integrate gender equality in all 10 of the key goals of the UNAIDS 2011–2015 Strategy and collaborates closely with Cosponsors in working towards achieving these goals and meeting the needs of girls and women, including ending gender- based violence and ensuring that national AIDS strategies address their rights and needs in the context of HIV.
