UN Women - In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN
Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the
Empowerment of Women. In doing so, UN Member States took an historic
step in accelerating the Organization's goals on gender equality and
the
empowerment of women. The creation of UN Women came about as part
of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for
greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four
previously distinct parts of the UN system, which focused exclusively
on gender equality and women's empowerment.

the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and
beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and
peace and security.
More than ten years after the passage of UN Security Council resolution
1325, there is widespread concern that progress made at the normative
and policy levels has not been translated into significant improvements
in the lives of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict countries.
Both the United Nations and the European Union have committed to
closing this implementation gap. To address this, UN Women and UNICEF
with funding support from the European Union, will partner in a joint
programme that pilots a model for EU/UN collaboration on Women, Peace
and Security matters in three states of Northern Nigeria.
