We value gender parity and diversity

We greatly value gender parity and diversity. Applications are encouraged from all qualified candidates without distinction on the grounds of race, colour, sex, national origin, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity.

UNIDIR’s Gender and Diversity Policy enables us to improve the way in which these issues are integrated into every aspect of the Institute’s work. Our Gender and Diversity Action Plan supports this effort by setting clear goals and identifying concrete actions that can help turn policy into reality.
