UN Women exists to advance women’s rights, gender equality, and the empowerment of all women and girls.

As the lead United Nations entity on gender equality and secretariat of the UN Commission on the Status of Women, we shift laws, institutions, social norms, and services to close the gender gap and build an equal world for all women and girls. Our partnerships with governments, women’s movements, and the private sector, coupled with our coordination of the broader United Nations, deliver lasting changes.
