Background:
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 Georgia supports state and non-state partners towards the achievement of substantive gender equality in Georgia. In line with national and international commitments, UN Women works on the levels of policy and legislation, institutions, and grassroots, in order to achieve transformative results for increased gender equality and greater protection of the rights of women and girls. UN Women is providing technical and financial support to partners worldwide, working in several thematic areas: Women, Peace and Security, Humanitarian Action and Disaster Risk Reduction (WPS-HA and DRR) is one of them.
UN Women has provided continues support to partners in Georgia to increase meaningful participation of women in conflict prevention, transformation, resolution, and sustainable peacebuilding processes. Under the current country programme and in line with the 2021-2025 UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, UN Women supports the Government of Georgia to develop and implement the National Action Plan for Implementation of the UN Security Council Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security (UNSC Resolution 1325 (2000) et al.) and to achieve the targets of nationalized Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 16.
Within this framework, one of UN Women’s top priorities is to provide support for the localization of the fourth National Action Plan for the Implementation of the UN Security Council Resolutions on WPS.
