    Home based Consultant, SCE Communication

    Background

    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.

In its first phase, the Programme is being piloted in Australia, Cameroon, Chile, India, Jordan, and Mexico.
