View annual report narratives for the year
In 2024 context of elections and significant political changes in Senegal, UNWomen pushed for rights and equality in the area of women's representation with its strategic partners ; the National Democratic Institute (NDI), The National commission of Human Rights, the National Observatory of Parity and influential women's rights organisations. During the anticipated legislative election, UN Women provided technical and finacial support to ensure women's participation as voters and as candidates; As a result, 69 women were elected out of 165 deputies; representing 41,82 %. Out of 69 women elected in the Parliament, 23 received direct support from UN Women and its partners. The coalition of strategic partners has played a fundamental role in raising awareness and supporting women candidates. They have also facilitated spaces for exchange between women politicians and civil society organizations (CSOs), to strengthening the legitimacy of women candidates and their access to essential resources. They have also created a space for dialogue to strengthen voters support, particularly among women, for female candidates, and by addressing issues such as female leadership, political violence and parity. UN Women's major achievement in 2024 was a significant step forward towards women's political empowerment, which is a central goal for sustainable development, enabling not only the strengthening of women's place in Senegalese politics, but also the promotion of their social, economic and political empowerment.
