New York, New York, United States UN Women Full time
Background


UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

UN Women is mandated to lead, coordinate and promote the accountability of the UN system for women's equal representation. Women's equal representation has been addressed by various international instruments, including the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW as well as the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action


Achieving gender parity is an urgent priority, not only as a basic human right, but also as it is essential to the United Nations' efficiency, impact, and credibility.

The United Nations, as the principal international standard-setting institution, bears a special responsibility to lead by example and leave no one behind.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres launched the System-wide Strategy on Gender Parity hereafter 'the Strategy') with the aim to achieve equal representation of women and men at all grades across the UN System by 2028.

This Strategy focuses on target setting, accountability, special measures, senior appointments, mission settings as well as creation of enabling working environments.


In this context, UN Women supports the UN System to reach gender parity, based on its mandate to lead, promote and coordinate efforts to advance the full realization of women's rights and opportunities.

Office of the Focal Point for Women in the UN System at UN Women (hereafter 'the Office') is responsible for providing guidance to the UN System in support of the Strategy.


As the Secretary-General stated in his Strategy, gender parity is not only about numbers but also about changing the organizational culture.

Therefore, the Office has created the Enabling Environment Guidelines and the Field-specific Enabling Environment Guidelines for the UN System that provide guidance and recommendations on how to create enabling working environments, together with good practice examples.

Furthermore, the Office has been engaged in the work of the UN Executive Group to prevent and respond to Sexual harassment (formerly known as the CEB Task Force on addressing sexual harassment).
