Background |
|
UN Women 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. 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. 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. Unit/ Project Background: The Executive Office is responsible for providing vision, strategic planning and establishing priorities, leading the senior management team, leading advocacy as a global voice for women, building coordination in the UN Common System, providing overall management and oversight and ensuring accountability to governance bodies. UN Women’s communication and advocacy efforts support the positioning of women’s empowerment and gender equality as key issues on the international and national agendas and establish UN Women as a reliable partner of choice and as a thought leader on the issue. This entails showcasing its leadership as an advocate and knowledge provider on gender equality, a provider of results-oriented, impactful interventions on the ground, and a skilled facilitator of normative and UN coordination processes. This advert is for the purposes of filling multiple internship positions in the Executive Office and elsewhere at the headquarters of UN Women in New York.
