About us
UN Women is the UN organization dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. A global champion ForAllWomenAndGirls, 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.

“The needs of women and girls in Gaza remain at an all-time high,” says Sofia Calltorp, UN Women’s Chief of Humanitarian Action. The conflict has caused death and destruction on an unprecedented scale for everyone in #Gaza, with women and girls suffering from specific gendered vulnerabilities. At UN Women, we are now working side-by-side with the United Nations system which is on the ground fully mobilized to scale-up life-saving assistance. Stand with women and girls in Gaza while hope still flickers in their eyes: https://lnkd.in/ehNd3J-5 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

87%. That’s the number of peace talks that took place in 2024 without a single woman at the table. Women’s leadership is not and should not be symbolic — it is the key to building lasting peace #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

On #WorldStatisticsDay, we recognize that data is power — especially gender data. Through initiatives like UN Women's Women Count, data is being used to: ✅ Make invisible work visible ✅ Inform smarter policies and budgets ✅ Give decision-makers the evidence they need to act When gender data is available — and used — services improve, inequalities are exposed, and governments are held accountable. 🔗 See how UN Women turns data into impact: https://lnkd.in/egxhtyMN #ForAllWomenAndGirls
