Historique

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 Diversity, Inclusion and Shared Leadership Team sits in the Executive Offices and is responsible for providing strategic direction and support in further strengthen the inclusive culture through shared leadership by overseeing the implementation of the UN Women Framework on Diversity, Inclusion and Shared Leadership.

Our goal, at UN Women, is to further strengthen an inclusive culture with a commonly understood and practiced set of values and standard of behaviours by all individuals that reflect UN Women's leadership charter, values and competencies, the UN system leadership framework and the feminist principles underpinning our mandate and work, in line with the UN Women Strategic Plan 2022 – 2025.

Our values and competencies unite us by guiding our decision making and providing shared understanding or what it means to a part of UN Women, regardless of where we work and what we do.  Building on the UN Women Values and Competency Framework, the Diversity, Inclusion and Shared Leadership team is developing and rolling  out Living Our Values Conversations in offices globally to give life to our individual and collective values and anchoring them in everyday practice. 

While the main structure and approach for the Living Our Values Conversations have been developed, UN women requires the support of a Consultant to finalize the Facilitators Handbook for the conversations as well as to training the facilitators. It is expected that this work will take 7 working days, and will be home-based.

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.

 

At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect.
