UN Women Ethiopia Newsletter July - September 2025

Dear Colleagues and partners, 

A warm welcome to our third-quarter 2025 newsletter, and kindly be updated on our progress. 

This dynamic quarter saw us proudly amplify the voices of women at the Second African Climate Summit (2nd ACS) in Addis Ababa, notably through the Women’s Pavillion and related events. 

During the quarter, the ECO hosted Ms. Anna Mutavati, Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, on a high-level mission. Her visit included bilateral meetings with partners and donors, as well as a tour of the Women’s Rehabilitation and Skill Development Center, known as Lenegewa, on the outskirts of Addis Ababa. 

Our commitment to establishing and sustaining peace continued with a focus on supporting women’s roles in peace and security. Key initiatives included capacity-building workshops for women media practitioners, consultations on the National Action Plan, and training for electoral process stakeholders aimed at addressing violence against women in elections.
