NAM: We often remember Miss Universe as an international beauty pageant, which celebrates the beauty and
confidence of women from all over the world. However, in addition to celebrating physical beauty, we also need
to look at how events like these can raise awareness of women's issues.
HỒNG ANH: So let's turn our attention to UN Women, an organization that aims to ensure that every woman in
the world is respected, protected and has the opportunity to develop herself without any restrictions.
1. UN Women
LAN: UN Women is short for the United Nations Development Fund for Women. It was made by the United
Nations to make sure women are treated equally and have the power to do what they want. It started in July 2010
by combining four other United Nations groups that helped women. The full name in English is United Nations
Development Fund for Women.
LAN: The reason UN Women was created is because there is a lot of unfair treatment towards women. They
often don't get good jobs and are paid less just because they are women. Many girls and women don't get the
chance to go to school or see a doctor when they need to. They also don't have as much say in important
decisions and can be hurt or treated badly just because of their gender. UN Women was started to help women
and girls all over the world get what they need and be treated fairly.
LAN: As of 2023, Sima Sami Bahous from Jordan is the boss of UN Women.
2. Purpose of UN WOMEN
HƯƠNG: The main aim of UN Women is to promote gender equality and women's privileges globally.
Specifically, UN Women sets the following goals:
- Gender equality: Encourage and support measures to achieve gender equality and remove all restrictions on
women
- Promoting sustainable development: Incorporating women's rights into sustainable development strategies
and programmes.
-Ending violence: Support to end all forms of violence and promote justice in the legal system: Campaigns such
as UN Women's "Orange the World" have created awareness and increased support for victims of gender-based
violence. UN Women's "Orange the World" campaign not only raises awareness of gender-based violence but
also funds victim support organizations. Orange, the symbol of the campaign, is not only a protest but also a
global unity against violence in the world.
HỒNG ANH: Empowering and influencing women: Empowering women so they can participate actively and
influentially in decision-making at all levels: UN Women's Empower Women in Politics has trained and
supported women parliamentarians and political leaders around the world.
- Protecting women's rights and economic development: Strengthen women's economic rights and ensure they
have the opportunity to participate fully in the economy. This means promoting women's equity and economic
autonomy.
3. Current activities and projects of UN WOMEN
DUNG: Activities for women's roles:
International Women's Day: March 8.
- International Widows' Day: June 23.
- International Day of Rural Women: October 15.
International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women: 25 November.
- International Women's Year: 1975.
United Nations Decade for Women: Equality, Development and Peace: 1976–1985.
NAM: One of UN Women's important activities at the international level is the "ORANGE THE WORLD"
project. Here is a summary of this project:
Surprisingly, one in three women have faced physical or sexual violence during their lifetime. Because of this,
violence against women and girls is one of the most common human rights violations and perhaps the most clear
expression of the power imbalance in our society. Therefore, the global campaign Orange the World 2016 was
established. It lasted for 16 days, from the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on
November 25 to the International Human Rights Day on December 10.
HỒNG ANH: Orange was chosen as the signature color of the campaign as it symbolizes a bright future free of
violence against women. During these 16 Days, the world's most famous buildings and monuments are
illuminated orange.
