UN Women: Annual Report 2014

Publications - Released in 2015

UN Women’s work at the regional and national level is informed by the global commitments set out in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA), the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under negotiation.

2014 was a significant year for this work with the convergence of the 20-year review of the BPfA, the Third International Conference on Small island Developing States, the 58th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), at which Member States reviewed the implementation of the MDGs, and planning for the SDGs in the post-2015 development agenda.

Across all of these processes, there was a consistent call for accelerated achievement of gender equality as a precondition for sustainable and inclusive development through increased financial investments, more political will and stronger partnerships.
