Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, UN Women will work 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. Placing women’s rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women will lead and coordinate United Nations System efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It will provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. As committed under the UN Women Strategic Plan Strategic Plan (SP) 2011-2013, the Entity will establish strengthened results-based program planning and monitoring tools which effectively capture the nature of support UN Women will provide at the national, sub-regional and regional level – both to national counterparts, and to the UN System.

The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact.
