    Summary of country programme

    UN Women has been present in Chile since 2013 and supports gender mainstreaming in the United Nations System in the country, with the central and local governments and in the private sector. It collaborates closely with civil society, academia, and international institutions.  

    UN Women’s work in Chile focuses on four areas: 1) Economic empowerment, through the Originarias Programme and the Second Chance Education Programme, the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) and the WEPs Community, as well as technical assistance to increase women’s labourforce participation and entrepreneurship. 2) Governance and participation, through the promotion of parity democracy in different areas and levels, and advocating for non-violence against women in politics. 3) Gender violence, through the provision of technical assistance to governments and the private sector to prevent gender-based violence in all its expressions, in public spaces and at work, and 4) Women, Peace and Security and humanitarian response, advancing the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1325 and annexes, including internal security, contributing to security sector reform through targeted work with the police, addressing the migratory situation, and promoting environmental rights.

    Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
    One of the most significant results of the work carried out by UN Women in Chile during 2023 was the achievement of including a Gender Equality Pillar in the 2023-2026 Cooperation Framework. Pioneering experience in Latin America. With this decision, the gender approach for both the UN in Chile and the Government increases its hierarchy and impact in planning. This Gender Equality pillar is Led by UN Women and Co-led by UNFPA. 15 of the 19 Agencies, Funds and Programs with a presence in the country committed products. The government works with 18 of the 23 Ministries that make up the Executive Branch. That is, 80% of the Executive Branch is involved in this pillar. The Gender Equality Pillar considers 2 lines of work: 1) Gender mainstreaming in State management, and 2) Eradication of gender violence, including humanitarian contexts. In this sense, the impact on women and girls will be direct, to the extent that the United Nations works with the government, in different areas to include the gender perspective in the design of policies and programs. Also, it will directly impact policies to eradicate gender violence. At this point it is important to mention that the budget for 2024 increased considerably for prevention actions and direct care for women and girls survivors.

    The work plan of the Gender Equality Pillar contributes to the 6 transitions to achieve the SDGs, working with sectoral ministries to include the gender approach in policies of ministries and public services. There is an emphasis on those sectors of sustainable development, such as: food security, economic autonomy of rural and indigenous women, implementation of climate change policies and new energy sources, among others. At the level of employment and social protection, the focus is on strengthening capacities in stem areas and other non-traditional sectors of female employability such as Infrastructure, Construction, mining and energy. In this area, technical assistance is also provided to strengthen the leadership capacities of working women and their ability to communicate with the employer sector. We work to link the SDGs with the principles of women's economic empowerment to advance the 2030 agenda and support the implementation of C190.
