UN WOMEN: CAMPAIGN COORDINATOR, UNITE CAMPAIGN
The UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (UN), 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. Placing women’s rights at the center of all its efforts, the UN Women will lead and coordinate UN system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It will provide strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors. UN Women is the key entity within the UN system mandated to promote gender equality and women's empowerment at international, regional and national levels. In line with the organization's 2011-2013 Strategic Plan, ending and preventing violence against women and girls (VAW/G) is one of the six main goals. The Strategic Plan also highlights the important role of UN Women in supporting the strengthening of a coherent, system-wide approach to accelerate efforts in this area, including the management of the UN Secretary-General's global UNiTE to End Violence against Women Campaign. Launched in 2008 the UNiTE Campaign seeks to raise public awareness, generate political will and resources for ending and preventing VAW/G, and accelerate progress in this area. Building upon existing efforts and bringing together a range of stakeholders, the campaign provides a historic opportunity to push for making real progress in all parts of the world by 2015. The UNiTE Campaign global secretariat is based in the UN Coordination Division within the Intergovernmental Support and Strategic Partnerships Bureau of UN Women in New York.

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.
