Organization Mission

UN Women is the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. A global champion for women and girls, UN Women was established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide.

UN Women supports UN Member States as they set global standards for achieving gender equality, and works with governments and civil society to design laws, policies, programmes and services needed to ensure that the standards are effectively implemented and truly benefit women and girls worldwide.

Context

Over the past years, UN Women Uganda has played a central role in coordinating the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign, mobilizing government, civil society, media, and young people to call for an end to violence against women and girls. To strengthen visibility and advocacy in 2025, the campaign will feature fact sheets and advocacy materials that highlight progress, lessons learned, and key achievements from past campaigns and ongoing work under UN Women Uganda’s gender equality and women’s empowerment portfolio. These materials will be used across digital platforms, in partner briefings, and during national dialogues.
