UN Women Australia Chapters

UN Women Australia Chapters play a crucial role in advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. They are instrumental in raising funds and awareness for UN Women’s work both regionally and globally.

Our dedicated volunteer Chapters are active year-round, hosting their own fundraising and advocacy initiatives to support women’s empowerment and gender equality. They are also pivotal in championing International Women’s Day celebrations in their local cities.
