With the name 'UN Women', it is intended to be a more coherent, better-coordinated UN organisation that will advance the goals of gender equality and the empowerment of women. Its creation was welcomed by civil society organisations across the world, many of whom are members of the GEAR campaign, a network of over 300 women’s, human rights, development and social justice groups, which has worked for four years to achieve this outcome.
