In July ‎2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United
Nations Entity for 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 (DAW, OSAGI,
INSTRAW, and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's
empowerment.
At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment
of mutual respect. UN Women recruits employs, trains, compensates, and
promotes regardless of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual
orientation, age, ability, national origin, or any other basis covered by

If you need any reasonable accommodation to support your participation in the
recruitment and selection process, please include this information in your
