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.
UN Women – in partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the European Union – is implementing the regional “Win-Win: Gender Equality Means Good Business” Programme to contribute to the economic empowerment of women, recognizing them as beneficiaries and partners of growth and development, by increasing commitment of private companies to gender equality and women´s empowerment and strengthening companies’ capacities to implement these commitments. The action will ultimately contribute to the achievement of gender equality through enabling women’s labour force participation, entrepreneurship, economic empowerment and thus their full and equal participation in society. The Programme is being implemented in 6 Latin American and Caribbean countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Jamaica and Uruguay, linking with EU countries.
