UN Women forged an initiative with the Church in two districts, Woldia and Kobo, in the northern Amhara region. Aiming to reach a broad population, the project involves in-depth training workshops that engage religious leaders to take the lead to end violence against women and girls. At the trainings, the religious leaders learn about the causes and consequences of violence against women and strategies to prevent violence.

Against the backdrop of the 68th session of the United Nations General Assembly, UN Women in partnership with the Government of Canada today launched the Global Knowledge Gateway for Women’s Economic Empowerment (www.empowerwomen.org). This open online platform seeks to re-vitalize women’s economic empowerment by building connections, and bringing together people who need resources with those that have them.
Women make significant contributions to the economy in businesses, on farms, as entrepreneurs and employees, and by undertaking the bulk of unpaid care work at home. Of those employed, the majority are in informal and vulnerable employment, with nearly two-thirds of women largely outside the protection of the law in 2011. The Knowledge Gateway was triggered by the growing evidence that investing in women’s economic empowerment sets a direct path towards gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth.
