Moreover, 93% of the surveyed women reported that they could maintain their business open today. 76.1% of women used virtual wallets as a financial tool, reflecting a broad adoption of technology within the program.

Through the Womek project, 471 women implemented 40 business plans with USD 2.500 grants with support from UN Women and 10 cooperatives and associations, linked to value chains such as handicrafts, carob production, small-scale goat farming, agroforestry, and sewing, accessed USD 10,000 in funding and implemented business plans to collaboratively improve their ventures, benefiting more than 150 other women. Finally, 3 women leaders from these groups were elected to the governing board of their broader community, reaching a crucial role in the management and control of land resources.

Social norms, traditional gender stereotypes and unequal power relations which normalize and justify discrimination, racism and violence are deconstructed.
The advocacy efforts encompassing message promotion, campaigning, strategic partnerships with key stakeholders, and interagency collaboration have significantly contributed to dismantling entrenched social norms, traditional gender stereotypes, and unequal power relations. The 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris served as a powerful platform to amplify messages of gender equality and non-discrimination for women within the sports ecosystem and beyond. The collaborative efforts of three UN Women offices—Argentina, Brazil, and the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific—contributed valuable assets and inputs to the global campaign “Change the Game,” launched by HQ in partnership with UNESCO. This unified initiative effectively raised international awareness of the gender barriers and discrimination faced by women and girls, positively influencing public opinion worldwide. It impacted positively in various efforts to mobilize resources with key stakeholders such us CAF and the FC Barcelona, whith whom concepts notes and collaborations are being discussed at the beginning of 2025. Moreover, the sensitization of the public opinion about the gender barriers in the sport ecosystem resulted in the recognition of the "Sports for Equality Campaign" lead by UN Women as an action of public interest from the Parliament of the City of Buenos Aires.

Its widespread media attention, the endorsement by provincial governments that spread messages and developed actions at local level to raise awarenesses about the issue. The sensitization of public opinion paved the way for renewed discussions between UN Women representatives and the national government.

Services, policies and strategies for the prevention, assistance and elimination of gender-based violence are accessible, have good quality and leave no one behind.
Subnational mechanisms enhanced the development of policies and actions to address gender-based violence (GBV) as a result of the strenghtening of dialogue and exchange facilitated by UN Women. A notable example is the reconvening of the Consejo Consultivo de Sociedad Civil in Jujuy Province, which laid the foundation for creating an action plan to combat GBV for the 2025–2027 period. This effort, supported by UN Women, will include the provision of technical assistance to ensure its effective development. The vigilance and activism of NGOs and feminist movements were further bolstered by dialogues, exchanges, studies, campaigns, and other opportunities facilitated by UN Women. These initiatives played a pivotal role in maintaining civil society's advocacy efforts. A notable example of this mobilization was the 37th Plurinational Meeting of Women and Diversity, held in the province of Jujuy, which received UN Women’s support and highlighted the importance of collective action in the current context.
