UNIFEM is the women's fund at the United Nations.

It provides financial and technical assistance to innovative programmes and strategies to foster women's empowerment and gender equality.

UNIFEM was created by a UN General Assembly resolution in 1976, following a call from women's organisations attending the 1975 UN First World Conference on Women in Mexico City.
