It works globally to make the vision of the Sustainable Development Goals a reality for women and girls and stands behind women’s equal participation in all aspects of life, focusing on four strategic priorities:

• Women lead, participate in and benefit equally from governance systems; • Women have income security, decent work and economic autonomy; • All women and girls live a life free from all forms of violence; • Women and girls contribute to and have greater influence in building sustainable peace
