UNIFEM promotes women's human rights,including elimination of poverty, violence against women and is highlighting the gender dimensions of HIV AIDS.UNIFEM is playing an important role in supporting activities empowering women in developing countries of East Africa, South East Asia,South Asia and Central America and the Andean region.UNIFEM aims at promoting leadership and participation of women in world peace and security. UNIFEM is working on projects for women's empowerment and is working on strategies to universally promote gender equality.UNIFEM provides funds to ensure women's active participation in all areas of development. UNIFEM is facilitating dialogue at the regional level so that the global agreements for peace and security translate in to action. A part from being a women organization UNIFEM is proving itself to be an integral part of United Nations. UNIFEM is providing partnerships within women organizations to work for women related issues. Keeping in view the quote of ex- director of UNIFEM that "women want a world free from hatred, violence and poverty " UNIFEM is playing its role for ensuring women's participation in development projects.UNIFEM is providing budgets to protect women's economic rights. But violence or domestic violence against women is so common in developing and under- developed countries.

That such organizations can not help eliminating it. In countries like Pakistan and India women are facing domestic violence from their husbands, fathers and brothers.I wish that UNIFEM eliminates domestic violence against women from the world because most of the women are a victim of violence. It does not matter whether they are educated or illiterate they are tortured. Men could never accept women's empowerment. UNIFEM can play role in creating awareness not only amongst women to fight for their rights but amongst men to respect women and their success.
