UN-Habitat Gender Journey

In 2012, UN-Habitat established the Advisory Group on Gender Issues (AGGI) as an independent body to advise the Executive Director on all issues related to gender issues in the agency’s work. One of the first requests of AGGI members was for a document in informing the organisation’s current gender work. This gender history is commissioned by UN-Habitat in response to AGGI’s request. Many contributions were made by Huairou Commission staff and partners.
