Let’s make sure women and girls can shape the policies, services and infrastructure that impact all our lives. And let’s support women and girls who are breaking down barriers to create a better world for everyone." UN Secretary-General, António Guterres
International Women’s Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.
Countering gender-based violence, addressing vulnerability factors and empowering women have always been at the forefront of UNICRI work. Over the last 50 years the Institute has centered its crime prevention, justice and human rights protection programmes on gender issues and reducing the factors of vulnerability of women and girls.
Strengthening the role of women in law enforcement
23 March 2017, United Nations Headquarters, New York
On the occasion of the sixty-first session of the Commission on the Status of Women, the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), in cooperation with Criminologists without Borders and International Sociological Association, has organized the side event “Strengthening the role of women in law enforcement” which was held on Thursday, 23 March 2017, at the United Nations HQs in New York.
Despite the progresses achieved in addressing gender issues, ongoing discrimination and unequal treatment continue to affect women and girls worldwide. The International Women's Day serves as a reminder to all actors to ensure respect for women’ rights and prevent violence and abuses against women. Still today, there is a need for encouraging a safe and peaceful environment free of repression and violence in which women and girls at all levels can obtain equality and can fully contribute to and benefit from the positive effects of development.
