On Planning for Development: Gender/Women Editor: Róbinson Rojas Sandford
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

United Nations Development Fund for Women
All UNIFEM programmes support women’s human rights, because women suffer from the denial of these rights around the world. With women in every region turning to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) as a human rights tool, UNIFEM works with women’s groups and governments to map shortfalls in national implementation of the treaty, and put in place laws and policies to uphold it. read more  lea más  et aussi

Budgeting for Gender Equality (2005-09)
The issue: A budget is the most comprehensive statement of a government’s social and economic plans and priorities. In tracking where the money comes from and where it goes, budgets determine who benefits from public resources, and how. Although budgets are usually perceived as gender-neutral, a set of numbers that impartially affect women and men, closer inspection reveals that this is often not the case.
