Publisher: UNDP Volume: 74 pages, pdf Description:
UNDP support for the advancement of gender equality in Ukraine, understood as equal rights and opportunities for women and men1, began just before the Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing Conference)2. Initial efforts were targeted at fostering the emergence of a minimum legal environment and relevant statistics needed to inform policymaking. Major outcomes of UNDP’s collaboration with its national counterparts during the period of 1995–2008 included the nascent legal framework for domestic violence prevention (2001) and gender equality (2005), as well as a developing field of gender statistics.
