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. In Indonesia, addressing humanitarian-peace-development nexus is critically important given its highly diverse population, complex governance system and ensuring humanitarian and conflict affected areas at the sub-national level. Women and girls are disproportionately affected by conflicts and emergencies, including in the ensuing COVID-19 pandemic. Sustainable development and effective humanitarian response to crisis, including COVID-19 pandemic are not possible without peace.
