The barriers keeping women out of leadership aren't always visible.

From childhood expectations and unequal care responsibilities to stereotypes in politics and media, social norms continue to shape who is seen as a "leader" and who is not. Yet when women lead, decision-making becomes more representative, inclusive, and effective.

Changing these norms is not only about changing attitudes. It requires transforming narratives, creating real opportunities for women and girls, and building collective power for lasting change.

Read our latest article to explore how social norms impact women's political leadership and what it takes to make women's leadership the norm.

Behind humanitarian response are local organizations that know their communities. Many are led by women.

But funding cuts are putting their work at risk. More than 9 in 10 women’s organizations surveyed by UN Women say they cannot meet current levels of need.

This , we recognize women as humanitarian actors and leaders and call for greater support for their organizations and a stronger voice in humanitarian decisions.

On , we honour humanitarian workers who stand with people in need, often at great personal risk.

Their work is vital for women and girls affected by crises, helping them access essential services, protection and support when they need it most. When humanitarian workers are attacked or humanitarian access is restricted, women and girls can face even greater risks.

Across Asia and the Pacific, UN Women works with partners to ensure humanitarian action protects the rights and dignity of women and girls, responds to their needs and strengthens their leadership in crisis response and recovery. We must protect those who deliver humanitarian assistance and ensure they can safely reach women, girls and all people affected by crises.

When women lead, peace follows. 🕊️

Over two inspiring days in Bangkok, women leaders, government representatives, civil society organizations, development partners, and community peacebuilders from across Thailand came together to advance their vision to ensure women are at the heart of peace and security.

The Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Forum 2026 provided a platform to strengthen partnerships, exchange experiences, and identify practical ways to accelerate the implementation of Thailand's National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security. From community voices to national policy discussions, participants reaffirmed that sustainable peace can only be achieved when women lead, participate, and influence decision-making at every level.

The Forum featured:
🤝 A workshop bringing together line ministries and civil society to strengthen collaboration on implementing the National Action Plan on WPS.
🕊️ The Annual WPS Network Meeting, where representatives from WPS Networks and Women's Empowerment and Learning (WE) Centres shared lessons learned, good practices, and priorities for strengthening community-based peacebuilding.
🌿 The Women's Empowerment Market Fair and Exhibition, showcasing women-led enterprises from border communities and demonstrating how women's economic empowerment contributes to resilience, social cohesion, and lasting peace.

As Thailand continues to advance its first National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, the WPS Forum reinforced the importance of investing in women's leadership, strengthening local partnerships, and ensuring community voices help shape national action.

Together, we move one step closer to building more peaceful, inclusive, and resilient communities.

⚠️ Findings from a new UN Women report:

7 in 10 women in describe their mental health as ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’.

Five years since the Taliban takeover, the mental health toll for women and girls is undeniable.

We need more support for Afghan women's mental health, not more isolation.

For many women in Myanmar, having a job still isn't enough to make ends meet.

Research from UN Women and UNDP finds that employed women earn around USD 63 a month — 21% less than men. Meanwhile, the cost of covering a household's basic needs is around USD 151 a month, more than double what the average employed woman brings home on her own.

That means most households now need more than two income earners just to cover the basics. With incomes this far below the cost of living, the burden of closing that gap often falls on already stretched households — and on women who are already carrying the weight of unpaid care alongside paid work.
