Background |
|
The 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. Placing women's rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. UN is expected to provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States' priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. In July 2014, the UN Women Executive Director launched the first ever Global Workforce Survey for all UN Women employees. The Global Workforce Survey provided all, regardless of duty station, discipline or contract type, with an important opportunity to express their opinion about the UN Women workplace. The answers from this anonymous and confidential survey led to identifying five priority areas for further strengthening, including Internal Communications. Under the primary supervision of the Chief of Staff, with a matrixed secondary reporting line to the Directors of Human Resources and Communications/Advocacy, the Internal Communications Specialist is responsible for strengthening internal communications in UN Women, developing and maintaining a range of strategic communications tools and products for UN Women, and for online and offline internal audiences. The Internal Communications Specialist will collaborate closely with all relevant divisions and teams in Headquarters, as well as Regional, Multi-Country, Liaison and Country Offices (RO/MCO/LO/CO), and the Training Centre. This will include collaborating with the Executive Director’s office, the Knowledge Management Team, and the ICT team to ensure that UN Women’s mission and vision, communication strategy, organizational outreach and knowledge management are effectively communicated to UN Women’s workforce. The position of the Internal Communications Specialist is located in the Executive Director’s office. The Office of the Executive Director, UN Women is responsible for managing and ensuring the provision of substantive support to intergovernmental processes on gender equality and the empowerment of women on a global level. The Office of the Executive Director is responsible for providing vision, strategic planning and establishing priorities, leading the senior management team, leading advocacy as a global voice for women, ensuring coordination in the UN Common System, providing overall management and oversight and ensuring accountability to governance bodies.

In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment. |
