The Inter-Agency Network on
Women and Gender Equality (IANWGE) is a network of Gender
Focal Points in United Nations offices, specialized agencies,
funds and programmes.
The Network has played a central role in promoting gender
equality throughout the United Nations system and in follow-up
to the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995 and
the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly
(Beijing +5) in 2000.
The Network also monitors and coordinates the
mainstreaming of gender perspectives in the normative
operational work of the UN system.
