UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

And we never give up.

For every child, a equality.

Gender equality is essential to realizing the mandate of UNICEF to uphold the rights of all children. The UNICEF Gender Action Plan (GAP), , operationalizes the UNICEF Gender Policy, , by specifying how UNICEF will promote gender equality across its programmes and workplaces. It affirms that promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is the responsibility of everyone, regardless of organizational role. The GAP elaborates on the steps required to accelerate progress on gender equality across the five Goal Areas of the UNICEF Strategic Plan, , as well as within institutional systems and processes, with clear indicators and monitoring mechanisms to track change. The GAP builds on an increasing knowledge base on gender equality and responds to lessons learned from implementing previous GAPs and an extensive global consultative process with staff, partners,and young people. It is grounded in the human rights principles of nondiscrimination and equality and articulates the role of UNICEF, as a collaborator with Governments and other partners, in supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Recognizing that gender discrimination has lifelong and intergenerational impacts, the GAP advances gender equality throughout the life course. At the same time, it promotes targeted actions to advance the leadership and wellbeing of adolescent girls, as girls are disproportionately affected by gender inequality and have tremendous potential to be leaders for change. This dualtrack approach goes beyond responding to the manifestations of gender inequality to tackle its underlying drivers, including engaging boys and men as allies; advancing upstream financing and policy solutions, and supporting girls' agency and voice.
To increase dedicated gender capacity and expertise in Country Offices, the GAP Steering Committee has specified that Gender Programme Specialists (P4) be senior enough within the office structure to carry influence and be given an officewide mandate to engage with sectors in meaningful programming. The Gender Programme Specialist reports to the Deputy Representative Programme, and this position serves as the primary gender expert in Mexico Country Office.
