UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
Background
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.
The UN Women Geneva Office works to expand, deepen and broaden UN Women's strategic engagement in Geneva-based intergovernmental and multilateral processes related to human rights, humanitarian affairs, and others. The Geneva Office builds and nurtures strategic relationships and alliances with Geneva-based stakeholders that are essential for advancing and successfully achieving the mission of UN Women. It works with a wide range and number of key humanitarian and development partners, including delegates appointed to the UN, International NGOs, UN Geneva-based agencies, as well as the private sector, foundations, academia, think tanks, and the media to support them to effectively contribute to the full realization of gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.
The Human Rights and Development team of UN Women Geneva works closely with Member States and other key stakeholders such as treaty bodies and Special Procedures mandate holders to mainstream gender in intergovernmental processes and high-level discussions, in the Human Rights Council as well as in discussions related to trade, labor, health, and climate. The section aims to strengthen the integration of a gender perspective in the outcomes of the Human Rights Council, build stronger and solid relationships with Geneva-based UN agencies as well as with other International Organizations, Member States, civil society organizations and the private sector, to mainstream gender across the UN system and beyond. Additionally, this team leads relevant UN-wide communications campaigns and provides support in the dissemination of UN Women's latest research and evidence base.
Reporting to Head of Human Rights and Development and the Deputy Director of the UN Women Geneva Office, the Human Rights and Development Specialist is responsible for providing technical support to intergovernmental processes, managing the development, implementation, and monitoring and reporting of the Human Rights and Development Team's portfolio, coordination of relationships with partners, and providing support in development resource mobilization strategies, and managing knowledge building efforts. The Human Rights and Development Specialist works in close collaboration with UN Women HQ staff, country and regional offices, representatives of Member States, UN system, and civil society, to ensure successful implementation of the Geneva Office's Human Rights and Development portfolio.

Note:
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women's empowerment.

UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and discrimination. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to UN Women's policies and procedures and the standards of conduct expected of UN Women personnel and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks. (Background checks will include the verification of academic credential(s) and employment history. Selected candidates may be required to provide additional information to conduct a background check.
