UN Women Ethiopia Country Office 2024 Quarter 2 Newsletter

UN Women Ethiopia has undertaken various activities during the quarter in collaboration with its partners. Among the notable activities is the launching of its WomenEconomic Empowerment Strategy. The strategy encapsulates UN Women’s vision of empowering women to thrive and economies to prosper. It aims to dismantle the systemic barriers that prevent women from fully participating in the economy.

Another important work done during the quarter is the continuation of our effort to ensure the participation of Civil Society organizations in the transitional justice processes. To this end, a two-day national workshop on creating space for the CSOs to participate in the implementation process of transitional justice policy in Ethiopia was held in June 2024. The workshop targets women leaders from non-governmental and CSOs and representatives of grassroots community groups aimed to assess gender sensitivity of the Transitional Justice (TJ) Policy recently adopted by Ethiopia’s Council of Ministers.
