Description

During the 52nd Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), women's rights organizations from all over the world launched the GEAR Campaign. The Gender Equality Architecture Reform of the UN system (GEAR) aims at ensuring that the United Nations being a major global actor pushing for the implementation of regional and international commitments on gender equality and women's empowerment dedicates a unique entity that will create effective mechanisms. Of course, the UN does support gender equality and women's empowerment through its normative and operational work. Four gender-specific entities in the UN have been playing a leadership and catalytic role in UN System-wide efforts: the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), the Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW), the Office of the Special Advisor on Gender (OSAGI) and the Institute for Research on Women (INSTRAW). Other UN agencies such as UNFPA, UNDP, UNESCO and UNICEF have committed to mainstreaming gender and often have programmes specifically targeting women and girls, but since it is only a part of their core mandate, it receives low priority. On the other hand, UNIFEM which has the mandate to provide financial and technical assistance to innovative programmes and strategies to foster women's empowerment and gender equality is under-resourced.
