A network of Gender Focal Points in United Nations offices, specialised agencies, funds and programmes.
The Network has played a central role in promoting gender equality throughout the United Nations system and in follow-up to the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995 and the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly (Beijing +5) in 2000.
The Network also monitors and oversees the mainstreaming of gender perspectives in the normative operational work of the UN system.
