Focus on Women Virtual Tour
The Focus on Women Tour introduces significant women in UN history and today (e.g., Eleanor Roosevelt, Amina Mohammed, Michelle Bachelet) and covers Resolution 1325. Highlighted are the unique contribution and growing numbers of female peacekeepers, women's assistance in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, SDG 5 on gender equality, and how it connects to other goals. The Beijing Platform of Action, Generation Equality, and various General Assembly resolutions highlight international action on women's issues. The tour also highlights significant works of art at UN Headquarters, such as the traditional Mola-style tapestry made by indigenous women (gift of Panama), located in the General Assembly Lobby.

The United Nations needs action from Americans now more than ever. For over 70 years, the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA) has informed, inspired, and mobilized the American people to support the ideals and vital work of the United Nations. But important priorities of the United Nations are under serious threat, including U.S. funding for the institution and support for refugees. We need you to act now!
