    Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
    UN Women in Chile, since 2023, has accompanied the Government on the path towards the construction of a National Care System. In this context, it has contributed to the collection of needs and proposals from women caregivers, care organizations and other relevant stakeholders for the design of this public policy (Social dialogues' main results). During 2024, a breakdown analysis by 16 regions was carried out (document); rescuing the results of the dialogues for each of the regions, including a socioeconomic study for each of them and a theoretical approach on the territoriality of care. Likewise, the legislative process of the law that creates the National Support and Care System and guarantees the right to care in Chile presented by the Executive was supported. In this context, suggestions for improvements to the bill were presented to the Ministry of Social Development and Family. In addition, the Office in Chile, based on its experience in the Latin American and Caribbean region, is collaborating during 2024 in the development of technical assistance on the With this exercise, the Ministry of Social Development and Family, responsible for the policy, successfully negotiated an increase in the national care budget for 2025. In the same direction, reports have been prepared on the projection and scenarios of these services to 2030, including statistical data on population and care coverage. The experience of the Chilean office in the area of care has opened the way for South-South cooperation. In this regard, the experience has been disseminated and good practices have been shared, facilitating its replication in other countries. It is worth mentioning the International Seminar “Between the global and the local: experiences in the construction and territorialization of care policies and systems in Latin America and the Caribbean” in Belem do Para. Seminario Internacional
    On the other hand, and in an effort to broaden the view on the impact of care on the population, during 2024 the knowledge product “Women's political participation: Building the care society” was developed, which opens the discussion on the impact of care on women's political trajectories. Government, local and legislative authorities participated in this initiative, generating great interest due to the innovative nature of the proposal and the real impact that the issue of care has on women's decision to participate in public life and decision-making, a real barrier in line with General Recommendation 40 of the CEDAW. The document was presented by the Deputy Executive Director, Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, at a seminar attended by government authorities and interested members of the public. Through technical assistance, we contribute to improve the public offer and publicly position the co-responsibility of care and the lives of women, who dedicate 2 hours a day more than men to this responsibility (ENUT 2025).Photos
    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.
