UN Women merges and builds upon the work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system—DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW, and UNIFEM—all of which focused on advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women. Through this integration, UN Women aims to achieve more effective and impactful outcomes in promoting gender equality globally.
