The United Nations entity for gender equality and the empowerment of women, UN Women, said it regretted the decision of the United States of America to withdraw from the organization's Executive Board.
The organization emphasized that since the inception of UN Women, cooperation with the United States has played a significant role in advancing the rights of women and girls around the world – from strengthening laws and institutions to expanding economic opportunities, supporting women's leadership, advancing the Women, Peace, and Security agenda, and combating violence.
The organization's statement emphasizes that gender equality is the foundation of peace, progress, economic resilience, and democracy. Against a backdrop of mounting backlash against women's rights and growing global inequality, the organization believes that international leadership and multilateral cooperation remain critical.
The statement said UN Women is committed to continuing its constructive dialogue with the United States, as it does with all other UN Member States, and to fulfilling its mandate to protect and promote the rights of women and girls in partnership with governments, civil society, the private sector, and the UN system.
