UNWOMEN PROGRAMME ASSOCIATE
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 Mexico Country Office, in line with national priorities on Gender Equality, and with the Concluding observations of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women(2012), among others normative frameworks, provides coherent support to government, parliament, academia, indigenous and women’s organizations, justice system and UN entities, through providing “upstream” policy and programme advice, promoting a human rights-based approach to achieve sustainable development, improving national systems, sharing of good practices and lessons learned, strengthening normative and operational linkages, and promoting South-South cooperation. The programme in Mexico aims to guide, promote and coordinate actions to drive national partners to better develop strategic interventions in four priority areas: a) Women’s leadership and political participation, b) Women’s economic empowerment, c) Ending violence against women and girls d) Gender responsive planning, budgeting and production of statistics. The overall program’s goal is to build capacity and strengthen institutional responsibilities for formulating and implementing laws, policies and programs with a gender and ethnic perspective, aimed at guaranteeing women’s fundamental rights and advancing to gender equality.
