Communications and Digital Content Support

UN Women Uzbekistan is working to advance Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in the country.

UN Women works to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women in Uzbekistan, with a current focus on women’s economic empowerment and governance. As the office, opened in Tashkent in May 2025, continues to strengthen its communications function and prepare the launch of its first social media channel, the Online Volunteer will support media monitoring, development of approved social media content, and mapping of relevant bloggers and content creators. This contribution will help establish a baseline of national media coverage, strengthen partnerships with digital influencers, and support sustained public awareness campaigns, including the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence from 25 November to 10 December. These activities will strengthen the office’s advocacy and communications work and contribute to progress towards SDG 5 on gender equality.
