UN Women is the United Nations entity dedicated to advancing women's rights, gender equality, and women's empowerment worldwide. Based in New York City, it collaborates with UN member states, governments, and civil society to establish global standards and to translate them into laws, policies, and services that can be implemented locally. Its mandate centers on five priorities: expanding women's leadership and participation, ending violence against women, involving women in peace and security processes, boosting women's economic empowerment, and ensuring gender equality is integrated into national development planning. In June 2026, UN Women participated in partnerships with several organizations, including a collaboration with the Women's International Peace Centre for a joint event. These alliances illustrate its role in mobilizing diverse actors to advance gender equality and women's opportunities at local and national levels.
