Mission and objectives
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.
Context
In China, through its triple mandate, UN Women advances gender equality and women's empowerment in alignment with China’s international commitments and national priorities – including those outlined in China’s Five-Year Plan, Outline of Women’s Development in China (2021–2030), China’s Beijing+30 National Review Report, etc. – and under the UNSDCF for the People’s Republic of China (2026-2030).
UN Women primarily works on three thematic impact areas in China: (i) high-quality social services and social protection (including ending violence against women and social norms change); (ii) high-quality and inclusive economic development (including decent work for women, gender-responsive institutions, care systems, women’s participation in emerging and green sectors); and (iii) international development cooperation for SDG attainment. Our programmes in these impact areas are further enabled through strategic communications and advocacy, strategic partnerships and resource mobilization and operations. As Chair of the UN Gender Theme Group, UN Women also leads technical and coordination support to strengthen UN in China’s action and accountability on gender equality.
