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 Secretary-General António Guterres launched the “System-wide Strategy on Gender Parity” in September 2017. UN Women is committed to supporting 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 as well as UN Women’s Implementation Plan. Implementation, follow-up and monitoring progress are keys for achieving gender parity. The Gender Parity Specialist is a member of the UN Women’s team responsible for enhancing gender parity within the UN system. The Gender Parity Specialist reports to the Senior Advisor and Focal Point for Women in the UN System, who provides overall strategic direction and guidance. The Gender Parity Specialist contributes to the implementation of the SG’s parity strategy at the global, regional and country level. The Gender Parity Specialist supports the engagement of the UN system in gender parity efforts, working through the established coordination mechanisms; assisting in developing, promoting; and monitoring strategies for enhanced implementation and accountability in the UN system for gender parity as well as promoting and monitoring gender balance within the UN system.

Note: 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. |
