Overview: UN Women Centre of Excellence for Gender Equality

Established in 2022 with the support of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family of the Republic of Korea (ROK), the UN Women Centre of Excellence For Gender Equality is the first UN agency present in the country with a dedicated mandate on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. Aspiring to function as a knowledge and partnership hub for the Asia-Pacific region, the Centre collaborates closely with both Korean and regional stakeholders. It strives to engage in meaningful activities that highlight the importance of gender equality and enhance the capacities of policymakers and practitioners in both the public and private sectors.
