UNHCR made significant strides in advancing gender equality by aligning its organizational priorities with the UN Gender Equality Acceleration Plan (GEAP)1 and UN-SWAP 3.02. The UN System-wide GEAP recorded notable progress since its launch in 20243, including the introduction of the Gender Equality Clarion Call, strengthened gender-responsive planning, historic gender parity at Professional and higher levels, expanded gender analysis and increased funding to women led organizations. Despite these gains, significant challenges persist. Protection for women human rights defenders remains limited, while women continue to be underrepresented in senior leadership roles. Progress in transforming organizational culture and advancing gender mainstreaming at the country level has been slow, and monitoring mechanisms remain uneven. Furthermore, financing for direct and sustained support to local women-led organizations remains insufficient to meet the scale of existing needs.
