With the aim of galvanizing global action against this all-too-pervasive crime, UNODC and UN Women have joined forces to produce this research paper on the global estimates of gender-related killings of women and girls in the private sphere in 2021.

Women and Men in North Macedonia - a statistical portrait of trends in gender equality examines the trends in gender equality in several key areas, while analysing 12 editions of the Women and Men in North Macedonia, a signature publication by the State Statistical Office of North Macedonia, published in the period 2000 - 2021.

This brief summarizes the key findings of the assessment, which looked into the availability of data that can be used to evaluate the gendered impacts of COVID-19 in Uzbekistan. It showcases available data and key data gaps in five thematic areas, and highlights the need for more and better gender statistics and sex-disaggregated data to guide the development of a gender-responsive approach for effective mitigation and recovery efforts.

Reliable, accessible and appropriately disaggregated statistics are essential for monitoring commitments to gender equality. The brief provides an overview of UN Women’s efforts to develop the capacity of countries to produce and use gender data through the "Making Every Woman and Girl Count" programme in Europe and Central Asia (ECA). It showcases key results achieved in 2018 as well as priorities for 2019.
