UNIFEM Strategy

UNIFEM focuses its activities on one overarching goal: to support the implementation at the national level of existing international commitments to advance gender equality. In support of this goal, UNIFEM works in the following thematic areas:

• enhancing women’s economic security and rights,
• ending violence against women,
• reducing the prevalence of HIV and AIDS among women and girls, and
• advancing gender justice in democratic governance in stable and fragile states.

The UNIFEM Strategic Plan, 2008–2011 provides strategic policy and management direction for UNIFEM to increase its development effectiveness, strengthen strategic partnerships and mobilize resources. It outlines how UNIFEM works in partnership with United Nations system Member States and civil society organizations to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other internationally agreed commitments. read more et aussi lea más
