Gender Justice Platform
Through the establishment of the Gender Justice Platform, UNDP and UN Women have joined forces to contribute to closing the global gender justice gap. Together we promote women’s full enjoyment of their rights and their meaningful participation, including in leadership, decision-making and peacebuilding roles, as essential components of building social and political trust and enabling safe and resilient societies.
This innovative and unique platform combines UN Women’s gender equality expertise and UNDP’s strategic global rule of law programming experience, together with more than 20 partners to provide high-impact, sustainable programming that emphasizes women’s leadership and intersectional approaches, with international policy, advocacy, innovation and learning.
Since 2020, the Gender Justice Platform has enabled access to justice for 42,000 individuals across 14 countries and territories across Africa and the Middle East.
The Gender Justice Platform continues to work to bring together new and diverse stakeholders and gender equality champions, including States, civil society, academia, and UN agencies, that are committed to realising rule of law systems that work for all women and girls.
