UN Women aims to achieve Goal No. 5, gender equality and empowerment of women and girls. Advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is essential to achieve all the goals of the SDGs, including poverty, health, education, climate change, and decent work. Japan National Committee for UN Women is the solo official support organization in Japan that supports UN Women's activities. It provides information about the difficult situation of women and girls around the world, and the programmes and activities of UN Women to address the difficulties, such as Empowerment, Humanitarian Assistance, and Ending Violence Against Women.
