Some people may know that UN- Women is a combination of several once separate organizations under the UN that had the same goal; the advancement of women and securing their rights all over the world. This meeting i attended was geared to toward the creation of a new resolution they would put forward. The resolution would included the goals for the up coming year, a break down of what they included, how they would achieve (who would be a part of what and the financial aspect). Some of the nations present for the meeting where; USA, UK, India, Russian Federation, Argentina, Japan, Tanzania, Canada, Malaysia, Norway, and many more. Many people forget that even here in the United States women do not have equal pay as men for the same job, but in many other countries women have more worries than their salary some worry about their very lives.
The problem many people see with the UN is the enforcement of their decisions, this resolution will tackle that problem as well with a break down of check ins and reports and investigations into how things are progressing the frequency of these check ins have yet to be determined. Everything must follow a tight rule of law and procedure, all the i's must be dotted and t's crossed
