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

UN Women's Regional Office for the Arab States (ROAS) has recently adopted its

all. ROAS' goal is to accelerate achievements for the largest possible numbers

security and humanitarian issues.

Note:
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
appropriate law. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications,
competence, integrity and organizational need.
If you need any reasonable accommodation to support your participation in the
recruitment and selection process, please include this information in your
application.
UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the
aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual
exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and
discrimination. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to UN Women
's policies and procedures and the standards of conduct expected of UN Women
personnel and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
(Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and
employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional
information to conduct a background check).
