Gender, Rights, Equity and Diversity
The Department of Gender, Rights, Equity and Diversity (GRED) supports WHO’s commitment to the Leave No One Behind agenda. It represents the unequivocal commitment of all UN Member States to eradicate poverty in all its forms, end discrimination and exclusion, and reduce the inequalities and vulnerabilities that leave people behind and undermine the potential of individuals and of humanity as a whole.
