Did you know: In the Asia-Pacific region, an estimated 60 per cent of micro-, small and medium enterprises are owned by women. However, currently, in the global procurement market, women-owned businesses secure only 1 per cent of spending.
WE RISE Together, the latest project of UN Women and the Australian Government will address this inequality and encourage the public and private sectors in Viet Nam to evolve their procurement policies to be more gender-responsive. The project is being implemented in Viet Nam from 2022 to 2025.

UN Women organized a Regional Multi-stakeholder Forum on Leveraging New Technology and Artificial Intelligence to Advance Women, Peace and Security (WPS) in Asia and the Pacific in partnership with the Government of Australia, under the Southeast Asia and Pacific Cyber Program (SEA-PAC Cyber). The forum took place on 6-7 May in Bangkok, Thailand.
The agenda was structured around the four pillars of the WPS agenda. In addition to in-person participation, online registration was available for selected sessions which explored how new technologies and artificial intelligence could advance WPS across each pillar.

Womens Peace Movement in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia - short version [Bahasa Indonesia with subtitle] This year marks the 25th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 – a historic milestone that laid the foundation for the global Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. To commemorate this landmark, UN Women Indonesia shines a spotlight on four extraordinary women from Central Sulawesi of Indonesia — a region that has endured the compounded impacts of manmade and natural disasters. Through their voices, we witness powerful stories of resilience, leadership, and hope. These women are not only rebuilding their communities but also redefining what it means to lead in the context of peacebuilding and recovery.")
