The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (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 Women believes that partnerships and collaborative relationships are critical to deliver results for gender equality and empowerment of women and girls.  We work with a broad range of partners, including the private sector, all over the world in order to achieve such outcomes.

Recognizing the important contribution that the private sector brings to advancing women’s rights and well-being, UN Women is looking to enhance its engagement with the private sector in Asia Pacific to support the accelerated achievements of gender equality.  Such partnerships would enhance the reach of UN Women’s messaging and advocacy and create opportunities for philanthropy.

UN Women wishes to strengthen its capacity for more systematic engagement with the private sector and non-traditional partners in support of innovations for the most disadvantaged women and girls. We are now looking for seasoned expertise to proactively establish new high-impact partnerships with foundations and high net-worth individuals in Asia Pacific, to mobilize resources to realize UN Women’s strategic goals
