UN Women Programme Analyst

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 hosts the Secretariat of the Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund. The WPHF Secretariat provides support to the Funding Board, mobilizes resources from Governments, companies, foundations and individuals, provides day to day support to Country Offices implementing WPHF Programmes, and ensures timely and quality monitoring and reporting.

In 2022, the WPHF Funding Board established a new window for the protection and advocacy of Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) which is hosted by the WPHF Secretariat. The WHRDs window provides two types of support: (i) safety net grants that cover protection and livelihood expenses of WHRDs at risk from crisis and conflict settings (implemented together with INGO partners) ; and (ii) direct logistical support for participation of WHRDs in advocacy and decision-making processes (implemented directly by the WHRDs window unit). Since its establishment the window has supported 1,045 WHRDs and more than 3,714 dependents through both protection and advocacy support.
