Join the world’s largest movement for gender equality and the empowerment of women
UN Women implements global programs, policies, and standards that protect women’s human rights, enabling every woman and girl to reach her full potential—to lead, learn, earn a decent living, and live free from violence and discrimination.
Locally, UN Women Australia works with Federal and State Government, the private sector, academic institutions and for-purpose organisations to advance gender equality. We do this through:
- connecting partners and supporters to a global community
- influencing gender equality research, policy and strategy
- supporting responsible business practices and initiatives that accelerate gender equality and women’s empowerment
- engaging organisations and their employees in integrated advocacy, marketing and fundraising campaigns to support UN Women’s work
- linking a network of thought leaders to share knowledge across sectors and inspire action for an equal world.
UN Women relies entirely on voluntary contributions. Your support helps accelerate outcomes for women.
