New UNODC Gender Strategy (2022-2026)

In the second iteration of the UNOV/UNODC Strategy for Gender Equality and Women´s Empowerment (2022-2026), the Offices re-commit to contributing to global efforts to promote just, inclusive and resilient societies. The Strategy outlines how UNOV/UNODC will accomplish this over the coming five years. The implementation of the Strategy will continue to strengthen the work of UNODC throughout its five thematic areas in ensuring stronger analysis of stakeholders and understanding the different impacts of criminal justice, organized crime, terrorism and corruption on the whole of society. The Strategy also recognizes that women are disproportionately underrepresented at the policy, decision-making and at the managerial level, being particularly acute in the criminal justice and law enforcement sector as well as legislative and parliamentary bodies. UNODC will therefore continue to engage with Member States to remedy instances of gender inequality and exclusion. 

This Strategy provides an up-to-date institutional framework and priority areas for guiding UNOV and UNODC to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by building on the progress made through the previous Strategy and addressing the remaining gaps.
