Collecting data and analysis on how the war in Ukraine is impacting women and girls

Location Ukraine

Despite the myriad challenges of collecting data in conflict, UN Women has been working tirelessly with partners to gather, analyse and disseminate data to illustrate the differential and disproportionate impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on women and girls. At least five publications have been produced so far, revealing the grim reality of war and its evolution, particularly for the most vulnerable women and girls. Read more >

Uganda’s violence against women survey heralds legislative and policy changes

Location Uganda

Uganda’s first-ever stand-alone National Survey on Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG),  conducted by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) and supported by UN Women’s Women Count programme in 2020, has informed several pieces of legislation now before Parliament. The findings have also spurred action to increase timely access to justice, monitor budget allocations for VAWG prevention, and to improve data collection, management, and dissemination.

Among the shocking survey findings were that almost all Ugandan women and girls (95%) had experienced physical or sexual violence, or both, by partners or non-partners since the age of 15. Read more >

Data on gender-specific environmental impacts ramps up, informing responses

Location Viet Nam

When Quang Tri Province, in central Viet Nam, suffered its worst flooding in decades in October 2020, many families were devastated. Among them was Tran Thi Quyt, a blind 60-year-old and the main breadwinner for her family of four people with disabilities. She lost all her poultry and income.

Thanks to a gender assessment, and new disaggregated data on vulnerable groups, UN Women was able to provide emergency cash grants of VND 4 million (173 USD) to 315 vulnerable and flood-affected women-headed households to rebuild their livelihoods. Read more >

No data, no debate: Integrating gender in the national statistical strategy in the Maldives

Location Maldives

Despite having achieved gender parity in many educational outcomes, women in the Maldives have fewer economic opportunities than men, and a lack of data has rendered women in the informal economy invisible. However, in designing the country’s 10-year National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS), the Maldives National Bureau of Statistics (MNBS) brought together partners such as the Ministry of Gender, Family and Social Services (MoGFSS), UN Women, PARIS21 and civil society to ensure that gender statistics will be mainstreamed into national statistics to shape national debate and efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Women at the UN Security Council: a sea change in numbers

For much of its 76-year history, the Security Council barely heard from women. Most of the diplomats and policymakers seated there were men. From 1990–2022, a mere 8% of its Permanent Representatives were women, and more than a third of them were appointed only in the last four years. In total, only 26 women Permanent Representatives have served on the Security Council between 1946 and today. Read more >
