About the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women


The United Nations Trust Fund in Support of Actions to Eliminate Violence against Women (“The UN Trust Fund”) is a leading global multi-lateral mechanism supporting national efforts to end one of the most widespread human rights violations in the world. Established in 1996 by UN General Assembly Resolution 50/166,1 the UN Trust Fund is administered by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) on behalf of the United Nations System.


Since its establishment, the UN Trust Fund has been an important source of support to women’s, grassroots and other civil society organizations, nurturing innovation, catalyzing change and mobilizing key actors and constituencies – from community to national and international levels. It has contributed to breaking the once nearly universal silence on violence against women through grants to broaden awareness, advocate for passage and implementation of laws grounded in human rights standards, promote access to services and develop sustainable capacities for continued progress. Grantees – comprising governments, non-governmental organizations, and since 2008, UN Country Teams – have engaged diverse actors, such as women’s, men’s, adolescents and youth groups, indigenous communities, religious and traditional leaders, human rights organizations and the media in action to stop violence against women and girls. To date, the UN Trust Fund has supported 351 initiatives in 128 countries and territories with more than US$ 86 million.


The UN Trust Fund is also a vehicle for responding to the UN Secretary-General’s call to make violence against women “never acceptable, never excusable, never tolerable”, in the context of the UNiTE to End Violence against Women Campaign,2 launched in 2008. Through its grants, the UN Trust Fund contributes to the Secretary-General’s Campaign by placing emphasis “on supporting action where it matters most – at country, and especially local and community levels” ─ specifically by supporting the five key outcomes as regards to the enforcement of national laws, the implementation of multi-sectoral action plans, support to data collection systems, social mobilization and prevention strategies and addressing sexual violence in conflict situations.

The UN Trust Fund operates based on the voluntary contributions of UN Member States, non-profit organizations, foundations, the private sector and concerned individuals. Its governance and grant-making is guided by consultative committees at global and sub-regional levels comprised of UN agencies, leading experts and other key stakeholders.3 Information on the UN Trust Fund, including its history, past grantees and donors, can be found on UN Women’s website.
