As the leading international advocate for women’s issues, UN Women works across multiple fronts—from ending gender-based violence and closing the pay gap to increasing women’s political participation and economic opportunities.
Operating in over 90 countries, UN Women supports governments, civil society, and private sector partners in implementing policies and programs that advance gender equality. Key initiatives include HeForShe, a solidarity movement engaging men and boys as advocates for change, and Spotlight Initiative, a global partnership to eliminate violence against women and girls.
