Agency, Choice and Access: UNFPA Strategy for Promoting Gender Equality and the Rights of Women and Adolescent Girls outlines UNFPA's corporate approach to promoting gender equality and women and adolescent girls' rights, with a focus on strengthening institutional accountability and implementing an integrated approach.
UNFPA Gender Strategy 2022-2025, aligned to UNFPA's Strategic Plan, will support the application of gender-transformative approaches to all UNFPA programmes with an emphasis on ensuring agency, choice, and access for all women and girls. It focuses on ten pathways of change, and “areas for action” described for each pathway which reflect an awareness that intersecting power dynamics – geopolitical, economic, gender and cultural – disadvantage women and girls, increase their vulnerability, compromise their human rights and leave them far behind. The Strategy underlines the importance of promoting and safeguarding human rights across development and humanitarian settings, recognizing that women’s and girls’ bodies, choices and lives are greatly impacted by discrimination and violence linked to SRHR.
