UPAYA UN WOMEN DALAM MENINGKATKAN KESETARAAN GENDER MELALUI KAMPANYE #HeForShe DI NIGERIA

This study aims to determine how UN Women's efforts in improving gender equality through the #HeForShe Campaign in Nigeria through the framework of international organizations according to Clive Archer which includes Instruments, Arenas, and Independent Actors and the feminist IR gender approach according to Cynthia Enloe and J. Ann Tickner. International organizations will explain the role of UN Women as an international organization working at the global and local levels to encourage Nigeria in implementing gender equality policies. Meanwhile, feminist IR highlights whether men's involvement really gives space to women's voices or is merely symbolic. This study uses qualitative research methods with secondary data analysis from various sources. The results show that from 2017 to 2025, the #HeForShe Campaign led by UN Women has significantly improved gender equality in Nigeria. Many men are beginning to understand the importance of their role in creating an environment that supports gender equality through various efforts such as campaign efforts, public education efforts, and collaborative efforts. However, challenges such as deep-seated gender-based discrimination and harmful cultural practices still hinder progress. It is important to continue these efforts and strengthen support networks for women.
