UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
Placing women’s rights at the center of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates United Nations system efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with Women-CSOS and other relevant actors.
Myanmar is experiencing a compounded crisis that has affected greater number of its population across the country. In 2024, the Humanitarian Response Plan indicates that the compounded crisis affected about 18 M needing humanitarian aid. UN Women is contributing to the yearly Humanitarian Needs Overview and Humanitarian Response Plan to ensure that humanitarian action is gender responsive, addresses the needs and priorities of women, girls, men and boys in all their diversity and capitalize on their capacities and skills. It is important that updated guidance notes, tipsheets, references are readily available for use of cluster members and the Gender in Humanitarian Action (GIHA) Community of Practice members to be able to support gender mainstreaming in humanitarian action. The availability of materials and resources needs backing of skills development on GiHA through training using standard modules that can be adapted to training needs of various stakeholders.

These materials will be used to provide gender-responsive technical assistance to the Inter-Cluster Coordination Groups at national and sub-national levels, GiHA CoP members, Humanitarian Country Team members including Women – CSOs working on humanitarian response ensuring that the communication gap is addressed, as well as better understanding of the manual contents for those that intend to use it at community level.
