About UN
Women for Peace
UN Women
for Peace, founded in 2008, under the patronage of H.E. Mrs.
Ban Soon-taek, wife of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon,
aims at promoting and advancing the goals of UN agencies
whose missions are to provide opportunities for women
through social, cultural, educational and empowerment
programs while partaking in a global peace building process.
UN Women
for Peace is focused on supporting and funding UN
humanitarian programs for women in developing countries and
countries in conflict. Since its inception, UN Women for
Peace has sponsored scholarships to benefit underprivileged
women to study at the University for Peace.
From
2012, UN Women for Peace is proud to support the UN Women
Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. The Trust Fund,
established by the UN General Assembly in 1996, assists
efforts to prevent violence against women and girls,
provides services to those affected by violence and
strengthens the implementation of laws and policies on
violence against women and girls. The Trust Fund is
particularly concerned with ending violence against women in
countries of conflict, post-conflict and transitional set-
tings. The Trust Fund also invests, through its partners, in
long term solutions for a world free of violence. UN Women
for Peace’s contributions to the Trust Fund directly fund
these efforts.
