UNIFEM is the women's fund at the United Nations. It provides financial and technical assistance to innovative programs and strategies to foster women's empowerment and gender equality. Placing the advancement of women's human rights at the center of all of its efforts, UNIFEM focuses its activities on four strategic areas:
Reducing women's poverty and exclusion;
Ending violence against women;
Halting the spread of HIV/AIDS among women and girls;
Supporting women's leadership in governance and post-conflict reconstruction.
To pursue these goals, UNIFEM is active in all regions and at different levels. UNIFEM works with countries to formulate and implement laws and policies to eliminate gender discrimination and promote gender equality in such areas as land and inheritance rights, decent work for women and ending violence against women. UNIFEM also aims to transform institutions to make them more accountable to gender equality and women's rights, to strengthen the capacity and voice of women's rights advocates, and to change harmful and discriminatory practices in society.
As UNIFEM's Young Professionals Committee, we have pledged to support the mission of UNIFEM by fund raising and public awareness through educational/social events.
