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. The Policy Division develops and implements the UN Women programme of work on analysis, research and knowledge management that provides the evidence base and global policy compass to guide UN Women’s work at country and regional level, the intergovernmental process, and the UN system on issues of gender equality and women’s empowerment. It identifies emerging issues and trends and develops and proposes new strategies for achieving agreed goals through innovative approaches and lessons learned about what works in practice. UN Women works to implement Outcome 2 of its 2018-2021 Strategic Plan, “Women lead, participate in and benefit equally from governance systems,” and contributes towards achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals, namely Goal 5 on gender equality. Women’s political participation is a primary area of UN Women’s work. The work includes, inter alia: supporting legal and policy reforms to promote women’s electoral participation; strengthened capacities of women to engage in political life; supporting parliamentary bodies to deliver gender equality reforms; monitoring and preventing violence against women in politics; and improved data and statistics on women’s representation in local government (SDG indicator 5.5.1b). UN Women works with a range of partners and stakeholders nationally, regionally and globally to ensure more women of all ages fully participate, lead and engage in political institutions. UN Women’s corporate commitment to knowledge management is essential to enhancing the effectiveness of the organization’s interventions, especially at country and regional level, and to improving collaboration across the UN system, globally. The Women’s Political Participation Team in HQ provides integrated policy advice, and comparative knowledge technical assistance on women’s political participation at global, regional, and country levels. Under the guidance and supervision of the Global Policy Advisor on Political Participation, the Capacity Development and Knowledge Management Specialist on Women’s Political Participation will: Support knowledge management on women’s political participation; implement and coordinate the organization’s global community of practice on women’s political participation; and develop and implement capacity development initiatives related to women’s political participation.

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.
