UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific Annual Report 2014

In 2014, UN Women’s Regional Office for Asia-Pacific worked across 32 countries regionally in collaboration with governments, civil society organizations, the private sector and the UN system. UN Women Asia-Pacific reached the most marginalized women and girls by tackling stark and rising inequalities and multiple forms of discrimination. A range of approaches was used by the regional office and are detailed in its Annual Report: Partnering with governments in their programmes to advance women’s rights; supporting feminist and women’s movements to influence policy decisions; encouraging greater contributions of men as gender equality advocates; and advocating for increased investments to realize gender equality. This Annual Report is the first to be produced by the UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific.
