Gender Issues
UNIFEM works to foster women's empowerment and gender equality throughout the world. UNIFEM has identified four strategic areas that are of critical concern for the achievement of gender equality and women's empowerment and which guide our work:
- Reducing feminized poverty
- Ending violence against women
- Reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS among women and girls
- Achieving gender equality in democratic governance in times of peace as well as war
UNIFEM places the advancement of women's human rights at the centre of all its efforts. All UNIFEM programmes contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
