UNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUND (UNFPA) AZERBAIJAN

UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. UNFPA expands the possibilities for women and young people to lead healthy and productive lives. Since UNFPA started working in 1969, the number – and rate – of women dying from complications of pregnancy or childbirth has been halved. Families are smaller and healthier. Young people are more connected and empowered than ever before.

 

STATE COMMITTEE OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN FOR FAMILY, WOMEN AND CHILDREN’S AFFAIRS

The State Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan for Family, Women and Children's Affairs (SCFWCA) has the lead responsibility for policy on women and gender equality. It was established by the Presidential Decree at the ministerial level on 6 February, 2006, and replaced the State Committee for Women’s Issues, which had been operating as a state body on women’s issues since 1998. The SCFWCA is the only national machinery responsible for formulating and pursuing State policy on all aspects of women’s rights and empowerment, along with the implementation of CEDAW.
