THE GENDER EQUALITY ARCHITECTURE REFORM CAMPAIGN (GEAR) IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF THE OFFICIAL GLOBAL GEAR CAMPAIGN WEBSITE
The GEAR Campaign invites civil society organizations and individuals from around the world to join the global campaign to create a strong new United Nations agency for women's rights. Join us at http://www.gearcampaign.org/ and make history by helping to build a United Nations that really works for all women!
The United Nations is undergoing a historic reform process that has the potential to change the status quo for women's rights all over the world by creating a new, strong, and well-resourced UN agency for gender equality and women's empowerment.
Hundreds of civil society organizations from all over the world have been working together over the last four years as the global Gender Equality Architecture Reform (GEAR) Campaign to press governments and the UN Secretariat to improve the UN's work on gender equality and women's empowerment by consolidating the existing UN gender equality bodies into a single strong women's entity.
