Donate to this Programme to Empower Unrepresented Women Worldwide

Across the globe, millions are excluded from decisions that shape their lives, leading to ineffective policies and neglect of their needs. Women face a double burden due to historical gender biases and systemic violations of their rights, hindering their participation in movements advocating for unrepresented communities.

The Programme

UNPO is dedicated to advancing gender equality both within our organization and in the broader context of unrepresented communities. Internally, we strive to break barriers by empowering women in leadership roles, ensuring that women serve in key positions such as president, vice presidents, and secretary general. Externally, we actively support the empowerment of women within unrepresented communities by providing crucial support for human rights defenders and advocating for greater political power devolution.

Our Commitment

UNPO stands firm in its commitment to amplify the voices of unrepresented women, break gender barriers, and foster inclusive movements for a more equitable world. Together, we can empower women to shape their futures and advocate for their rights.

  • Foster an inclusive organizational culture that supports and promotes gender equality at all levels.
  • Provide support and resources to women human rights defenders in unrepresented communities.
