Organizational Context:
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

UN Women in Colombia in accordance with national priorities and international instruments for the protection of women's human rights, mainly the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), works to achieve substantive equality between men and women in all aspects of life, focusing on strengthening the leadership and political and economic empowerment of women and their right to a life free of violence, both in the context of conflict and outside this, as bases for a stable and sustainable peace. In this way, UN Women supports national efforts to make women beneficiaries and main actors in the sustainable development and construction of peace, democracy and security in Colombia.



In this context, UN Women works to ensure that the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) become a reality for women and girls, promoting their equal participation in all areas of life. The rights of women and girls are firmly reflected in this agenda through a specific goal on gender equality and empowerment, as well as through the strong mainstreaming of a gender perspective across the targets and indicators of the other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in the means of implementation, and in integral partnerships for financing. In this way, for the first time, gender equality is central to development across its three dimensions: economic, social, and environmental.

The agenda therefore addresses various structural issues related to gender equality, including the elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls, the eradication of discriminatory laws aga
