Gender Equality
Gender equality is a fundamental human right and development accelerator.
UNDP integrates gender equality across all our work while running targeted programs on women's economic empowerment, political participation, and ending gender-based violence. We work with governments, civil society, and communities to transform social norms, strengthen legal frameworks, and create opportunities for women and girls to thrive.
