UNOG Gender Policy Update

Background

UNOG adopted its first Gender Policy in 2016, serving as a model for other entities. It gave UNOG's leadership a framework for accountability and helped create a working environment where women feel more empowered.​ However, many global and internal developments have taken place since then and the policy needs to be updated to continue leading the way and helping UNOG tackle today's challenges. ​

Scope

The current Gender Policy urgently requires an update to align with the UN System-Wide Action Plan on Gender Equality (UN-SWAP 3.0) and the UN Gender Equality Action Plan. The revised version would also address gaps identified in recent staff consultations. ​
