Leadership & Participation

One of the pillars of UN WOMEN’s work is advancing women’s political participation and good governance, to ensure that decision-making processes are participatory, responsive, equitable and inclusive. Efforts are focused through strategic entry points that can advance the status of women by catalyzing wide-ranging, long-term impacts. Projects within this focus area include:

• Gender Equality in Political Governance


• CEDAW and National Commitments to Gender Equality


• Sexual Gender-based Violence.
