💙 Priority areas of work
UN Women’s interventions are implemented through a programmatic approach that integrates its triple mandate, connects diverse partners, and addresses interrelated issues, generating transformative change in the following four areas:
Women’s leadership and participation in decision-making:
UN Women invests in women’s leadership at all levels, both in the public and private spheres, at national and territorial levels, in order to influence the management of inclusive public policies and guide institutions in the implementation of the principle of equality. UN Women is guided by the principle that the full and effective realization of the rights of all women and girls requires their equal participation in decision-making.
Women’s economic empowerment in resilient economies:
UN Women supports macroeconomic policies and financial and business ecosystems with a gender and rights-based approach that fully promote women’s economic empowerment. We work in collaboration with governments, women’s movements, cooperatives, and businesses to foster the creation of decent work and entrepreneurship opportunities, promote equal pay, financial inclusion, and care systems.
Women and girls free from violence:
UN Women coordinates efforts with other UN system entities, governments, civil society, and the private sector to prevent violence against women, girls, and adolescents and to provide essential services for prevention, care, protection, and justice. Our prevention-focused approach, including actions under the UNiTE Campaign to End Violence against Women and Safe Cities, drives transformations aimed at preventing and eliminating harmful behaviors and the attitudes that perpetuate inequalities.
Women, peace and security, and humanitarian action:
By recognizing and strengthening women’s leadership in peacebuilding and the defense of human rights, UN Women promotes women’s central role in peace, security, transformative reparation, and humanitarian action, in line with Security Council resolutions, CEDAW, and other international commitments. Collaboration with community women leaders contributes to generating protection strategies to build peace and strengthen the rule of law, and enables more women to participate equally in decision-making and access essential services to save and rebuild their lives and those of their communities.
