=== Girls and Women ===
Gender equality is another one of the Foundation’s key issue areas. The Foundation has several campaigns and initiatives that address gender issues; their work includes girls’ leadership and empowerment, [[family planning]] and contraceptive access, [[maternal health]], and gender data. All its work on gender equality is represented by the Equal Everywhere brand and campaign that calls for all levels of society to make equality the reality of every girl and woman.

The UN Foundation launched the Girl Up campaign in September 2010. This "for girls, by girls" campaign offers leadership development and education opportunities for adolescent girls. Through Girl Up's support, girls create middle school, high school, or campus clubs, which then plan events to raise money and awareness for the importance of women's issues. Money raised by the clubs is often used to support girls in developing countries so that they have the opportunity to become educated, healthy, safe, counted, and positioned to be the next generation of leaders.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Girl Up {{!}} Uniting Girls to Change the World {{!}} United Nations Foundation|url=http://girlup.org/|access-date=2015-11-09|website=Girl Up|language=en-US}}</ref>

The Universal Access Project works to achieve universal access to reproductive health care by convening donors and advocates to protect and strengthen global [[sexual and reproductive health and rights]]. Its goal is to increase and maintain the U.S. involvement and funding for global family planning by protecting key investments.<ref>{{Cite web|title=What We Do {{!}} Universal Access Project|url=http://www.universalaccessproject.org/what-we-do/|access-date=2017-10-21|website=www.universalaccessproject.org|language=en-US}}</ref>

Family Planning 2020, an outcome of the 2012 London Summit on Family Planning, addresses the policy, financing, delivery and socio-cultural barriers to women accessing contraceptive information, services and supplies. Led by an 23-member Reference Group, operated daily by a Secretariat, and hosted by the United Nations Foundation, FP2020 is based on the principle that all women, no matter where they live should have access to lifesaving contraceptives.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-09-06|title=About Us|url=http://familyplanning2020.org/about-us|access-date=2021-01-27|website=familyplanning2020.org|language=en}}</ref>

Data2X, a collaborative technical and advocacy platform, was formed after former [[United States Secretary of State|U.S. Secretary of State]] [[Hillary Clinton|Hillary Rodham Clinton]] called for its creation in a policy speech in July 2012 and cited the lack of reliable and regular data on the lives of women and girls.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hillary Clinton spurs 'gender data revolution'|url=https://fortune.com/2014/12/15/hillary-clinton-gender-data/|access-date=2021-01-27|website=Fortune|language=en}}</ref> Through research, advocacy and communications, Data2X works to improve the availability, quality, and use of gender data to make a practical difference in the lives of women and girls worldwide.
