El progreso en el cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible: Panorama de género 2021 Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) | UN. Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN. DESA) La pandemia puso a prueba e incluso revirtió el progreso alcanzado en la expansión de los derechos y las oportunidades de las mujeres. Las mujeres no han recuperado el empleo y los ingresos perdidos, el hambre ha aumentado, y el cierre de las escuelas supone una amenaza para los logros de las niñas en la esfera educativa. La participación de las mujeres en el Gobierno, la investigación y la gestión de los recursos sigue lejos de ser igualitaria. Los grupos vulnerables de mujeres, incluidas las migrantes, aquellas con discapacidad, y las afectadas por los conflictos, con frecuencia quedan rezagadas. Las disparidades entre países ricos y pobres impiden el acceso a los tratamientos y vacunas tan vitales contra el COVID-19, lo que pone a los países más pobres frente a un riesgo desproporcionado. Por otra parte, pese al papel central de las mujeres en la respuesta al COVID-19, incluidas las trabajadoras sanitarias de la primera línea, estas no ocupan los puestos de liderazgo que merecen. En adelante, una reconstrucción mejor y diferente exigirá colocar a las mujeres y las niñas en el centro de todos los aspectos de la respuesta y la reconstrucción, entre otras cosas, a través de leyes, políticas y presupuestos con perspectiva de género. En El progreso en el cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible: Panorama de Género 2021 se presenta la evidencia más reciente sobre igualdad de género en la totalidad de los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. Se destaca el progreso alcanzado desde 2015, así como la alarma continua de la pandemia del COVID-19, sus efectos inmediatos en el bienestar de las mujeres y la amenaza que supone para las generaciones futuras.

It also illustrates how to identify opportunities for organizational change, enhance financing for gender equality, and strengthen monitoring and evaluation for the oversight of the results of gender mainstreaming.While the Handbook is focused specifically on the more traditional areas of development policy and practice, the discussions, findings, and recommendations are equally applicable in the context of humanitarian responses and programmes in conflict and peace-building contexts.

Gender mainstreaming principles, dimensions and priorities for PVE Year of publication: 2019 Author: Katherine Brown | Jayne Huckerby | Laura J. Shepherd Corporate author: United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) This guidance note offers comprehensive background information and resources, along with guidelines and guidance for the UN system, in supporting Member States in their efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism and terrorism (P/CVE)—with a primary focus on preventing violent extremism (PVE). It proposes a model for gender mainstreaming across PVE efforts that is human rights–compliant.The objective of this document is not to provide a single template or one-size-fits-all approach for PVE—in part because a wide range of activities potentially falls under PVE—but more significantly because, to be successful, each context requires a human rights–compliant, gender-responsive, bespoke, and locally derived set of practices and policies. 
A New Era for Girls: Taking Stock on 25 Years of Progress for Girls Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) | United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) | Plan International The analysis presented in this report demonstrates that while girls' lives are better today than they were 25 years ago, the gains are uneven across all regions. The report calls on global, national and regional stakeholders to expand opportunities for girls and young women to be the changemakers and designers of the solutions to their challenges and opportunities; invest in the skills development of adolescent girls so they can compete in today's labour market; improve girls' health and nutrition; and end violence in all its forms against them.
