The United Nations is about to create a new strong UN agency that will be working on women's rights all over the world. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to change the status quo on women's rights and gender equality worldwide, and it is important to get this reform right.

The Global Gender Equality Architecture Reform (GEAR) Campaign urges the UN and the Member States to create an agency that can operate with an impact, and make this agency operational without delay.

In mid June, GEAR Campaign representatives will present a petition to "Make the United Nations more effective in realizing women's rights" to the United Nations President of the General Assembly, H.E. Dr. Ali Abdussalam Treki. If you have not already signed on, please do so before June 10th when the petition will close.
