About UN Women India
UN Women India is at the forefront of advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment across India. With a strategic presence in New Delhi and 14 states, our commitment aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals to ensure that women and girls in India achieve their full potential in a safe and equal environment.
In partnership with the Government of India, other UN agencies, civil society, and the private sector, we drive initiatives that foster sustainable and inclusive growth, improve livelihood opportunities, and ensure equitable participation in all spheres of Indian society.
Our key areas of focus include enhancing women’s economic empowerment through skill development, entrepreneurship, and access to decent work opportunities. We also advocate for and implement gender-responsive policies and programs, aiming to transform structural barriers that hinder gender parity.
UN Women also provided technical support during India’s G20 Presidency in 2023 and our role was appreciated by the government and stakeholders.
As we move forward with our Strategic Note for 2023-2027, UN Women India remains committed to promoting gender-responsive governance, reducing gender-based violence, and supporting the empowerment of women and girls across the country. Join us as we work towards a society where gender equality is not just supported but celebrated.
