Nations
Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women)
works to eliminate discrimination against women and girls, seeking to
advance their full and equal participation in every sphere of life.
Through strategic partnerships with governments, civil society, the
private sector, and United Nations entities, UN Women promotes the
realization of gender equality as a cornerstone of sustainable
development, human rights, humanitarian action, and peace and security.
By fostering environments that uphold international frameworks such as
the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against
Women (CEDAW) and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, UN
Women ensures that women and men can fully contribute to, and benefit
from, social, political, and economic progress. Through its
comprehensive programmes and projects, 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 ensure that the standards are
effectively implemented and truly benefit women and girls worldwide.
