About UN Women Australia

UN Women is the United Nations entity for gender equality (UN Sustainable Development Goal #5) and the empowerment of women.

We’re committed to achieving gender equality for all women, empowering them to contribute their unique knowledge and skills to help create a better world. While important progress has been made, women still face significant obstacles to achieving equality.

Working in over 100 countries, UN Women transforms policy and delivers vital programs that give women and girls equal opportunities to learn, earn, lead and thrive – building a brighter future for us all.

UN Women Australia relies entirely on voluntary contributions from the government, the private sector and passionate, generous supporters. Find out more here.
