ABOUT OUR WORK

Sri Lanka

UN Women has been operating in Sri Lanka since 2014. Presently, the office is leading the implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security. Against this backdrop, UN Women is working with the Government of Sri Lanka and partners to:

  • ensure that women and girls contribute to and have greater influence in post-conflict recovery and development;
     
  • promote more women in leadership through institutional reforms that support women’s meaningful engagement in all spheres of life;
     
  • ensure that women and girls live a life free from all forms of violence by recognizing that prevention is the most effective and long-term way to stop the violence;
     
  • ensure that women have income security, decent work, and economic autonomy, particularly in times of crisis.

UN Women in Sri Lanka supports the development of national policies and standards as part of its normative mandate and coordinates efforts within the UN system to advance gender equality and women's empowerment in the country.
