Advancing Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment in West and Central Africa.

While women and girls in West and Central Africa are powerful drivers of economic growth and resilience, deep structural inequalities and widespread violence continue to limit their potential. This brochure outlines UN Women WCARO's strategic approach across 24 countries to turn these challenges into opportunities for lasting progress. Utilizing its triple mandate, the Regional Office connects policy, partnerships, and operations to ensure that laws uphold women's rights, institutions act accountably, and women have the power to lead.
