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.

Through its Governance and Participation Section, UN Women works to ensure that women lead, participate in, and benefit equally from governance systems.
The Women’s Legislative Caucus of Liberia (WLC) was formed in 2006 by women legislators of both Houses (Senate and House of Representatives) of the 52nd National Legislature of Liberia. Their purpose is to promote gender equality and women empowerment irrespective of political affiliation, religion, ethnic background, or other differences. The WLC seeks to take a common position on critical national issues affecting women and girls and to speak with one voice on such issues. Since its establishment in 2006, the WLC has focused on networking, capacity-building, and mainstreaming a gender perspective into national legislation and budgets; advocating for the passage and reform of gender equity legislation, such as affirmative action for women in politics; and raising awareness to focus public attention and gain public support on women’s issues important to women and girls.
