The UN Women USA San Francisco Bay Area Chapter raised awareness about women’s rights and issues facing our world and local community. The organization ceased activities in 2022. We educated and engaged local communities about global women issues; we advocated to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment; and we fundraised to provide key financial support for UN Women programs and initiatives that promote the social, political, and economic equality of women and girls across the world.

Global Voices Film Festival (GVFF), was presented by UN Women USA San Francisco, highlighted films that spotlight the unique stories of women around the world. GVFF supported emerging and established female directors, producers, and writers who were creating some of the most compelling and groundbreaking work in cinema.
