Agency, Choice and Access: UNFPA Strategy for Promoting Gender Equality and the Rights of Women and Adolescent Girls outlines UNFPA's corporate approach to promoting gender equality and women’s and adolescent girls' rights. The strategy aligns with the  UNFPA's Strategic Plan 2022-2025 and supports the application of gender-transformative approaches to all UNFPA programmes with an emphasis on ensuring agency, choice, and access for all women and girls, so they are able to exercise their bodily autonomy and decision-making within and outside the home.

The Gender Equality Strategy supports the UNFPA goal of achieving sexual and reproductive health and rights in all contexts. It consists of pathways, enablers, and linkages that will catalyze change and prioritize attention to partnerships, wide-ranging advocacy and support for women’s and adolescent girls’ agency, choice and access. Action areas linked to each pathway, enabler and linkage provide strategic guidance that will influence change at all levels from individual, community and policy.

The brief of the strategy can be accessed here.
