GEAR Comments on
the UN Women Strategic Plan 2011-2013
[May
17, 2011] The GEAR Campaign welcomes the UN Women Strategic Plan (2011 – 2013)
as the foundational document that cohesively spells out the work plan and
programmatic activities for the new entity globally. On behalf of our
members, composed of women’s human rights, health, development and human rights
organizations working at the local, national, regional and global levels, the
GEAR Campaign has highlighted themes based on feedback we have received from
our constituency for the Strategic Plan (2011 – 2013).
Please refer to the below document for a thematic overview of GEAR member submissions to UN Women during the Civil Society comment period on the Strategic Plan from late April to early May 2011. Main themes include:
- Incorporate a Human Rights-Based Approach
- Ensure that Policy and Practice Advance Implementation
of International Norms
- Develop Formal Partnerships and Engage with Civil
Society
- Incorporate Grassroots and Marginalized Women
- Strengthen System-wide Coherence and Gender
Mainstreaming
- Improve UN Women’s Data Collection Analysis and
Dissemination
