Priority Gender Equality
UNESCO and its partners work to provide solutions to reduce inequalities in and through education, to empower women in science and technology for environmental action, to promote inclusion and combat gender-based violence, to bridge the digital gender divide and to support women’s empowerment in crisis, emergency and early recovery contexts.
UNESCO is committed to gender equality as a human rights issue and a precondition for sustainable people-centered development. It is at the core of UNESCO’s conviction of how to build lasting peace.
