Women’s rights are human rights. But in these troubled times, as our world becomes more unpredictable and chaotic, the rights of women and girls are being reduced, restricted and reversed.
Empowering women and girls is the only way to protect their rights and make sure they can realize their full potential.
Historic imbalances in power relations between men and women, exacerbated by growing inequalities within and between societies and countries, are leading to greater discrimination against women and girls. Around the world, tradition, cultural values and religion are being misused to curtail women’s rights, to entrench sexism and defend misogynistic practices.

Gender-based violence: a threat to peace

Examples show how prioritizing family unity and flexible work policies can shift social norms. The framework aims to empower women as peacemakers by recognizing their leadership in families and recommending greater participation, education, and support for their rights and capacities.

1. The document discusses pathways to women's empowerment based on research from 12 countries across 5 regions. It examines how empowerment is understood and achieved through different economic, political, and social means in varied local contexts.
2. Key findings include that empowerment means different things to different women and must be framed around lived experiences rather than stereotypes. Supporting women's independent incomes, voice, relationships, and organizing are often important across contexts.
3. Both policies and social change are needed to promote women's empowerment, and efforts require input from local women, support of women's rights advocates, and addressing underlying structural inequalities that perpetuate gender imbalances.

UN Women Annual Report 2013-2014
UN Women continued to work towards a world in which women and men, and girls and boys, are equal. From advancing norms and standards, to expanding women’s leadership and participation, bolstering women’s economic empowerment, and ending violence against women and girls, we are registering solid gains together with our partners. We are joining forces to ignite a global movement for gender equality, women’s empowerment and the human rights of women and girls.
Right now, we have a unique opportunity to make greater progress as the international community works to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), define a post-2015 development framework and review progress since the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.The agreement reached at the 2014 UN Commission on the Status of Women lays a strong foundation for a transformative global development agenda that tackles structural gender inequality.
Since I assumed leadership of UN Women in August 2013, I have placed an emphasis on strengthening partnerships for action and ensuring that the UN system delivers as one for women and girls.We are reaching out to men and boys, and forging closer collaboration with women’s groups, civil society, and the private sector as we support governments in national development. Every time more women are elected to parliament, and more girls complete school and graduate from university, we are making progress.
Every time perpetrators of violence against women are prosecuted and brought to justice, and more laws are adopted and implemented to protect women’s rights, we move ahead. Every time women’s voices are heard in peace talks and nation building, and increased resources are dedicated to women’s full and equal participation, we take steps forward. This annual report showcases the progress and potential of UN Women.
I thank all individuals who are working with and alongside us.Together we can achieve equality between women and men in the 21st century.

Gender sensitivity issues and women empowerment
Gender roles and expectations are socially constructed and influence how people think and act. Gender bias results in unequal treatment or perceptions of men and women. True gender equality requires equal rights, access, and decision-making power for both women and men. While progress has been made through government policies and programs, gender disparities still exist in areas like education, health, employment, and decision-making within households. Achieving women's empowerment and gender equality will require continued efforts to change social mindsets and ensure equal opportunities and rights for both women and men.

ElC Geneva - 7-2012 - Carolyn Handschin
This document discusses several conferences focused on empowering women and building a culture of family. It notes that early peace conferences between Middle Eastern women from different countries were tense at first but that over 16 years a family culture has been established where participants can embrace new tragedies. A young Syrian journalist's experience influenced participants and care, empathy and love were key to mediation. The document argues that the family is the basic unit of society and development but is often overlooked in policy, and that a focus on strengthening families could help achieve development goals. It promotes a concept of "famili-archy" with shared leadership between all family members.
