WomenWatch is a United Nations interagency website on gender equality and empowerment of women. It was created in 1997 to support follow-up to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing 1995). It was founded by the Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW), the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW). The management of the website is currently undertaken by a Committee composed of the Gender Focal Points in DPI, FAO, ILO, ITU, the Regional Commissions, UNDP, UNFPA, UNIFEM, and DAW (task manager).

WomenWatch has developed directory of resources and information on work carried out to promote gender equality across the entire UN system. Through WomenWatch information is disseminated on intergovernmental processes, research and statistics and operational activities within the United Nations system. The website was showcased at the World Summit on the Information Society Tunis in 2005 as an example of successful inter-agency collaboration and networking within the United Nations.

The current focus of the Management Committee regarding partnerships is on consolidating the involvement of all members of the Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality in the management and maintenance of WomenWatch. In the long term there will be an increased focus on contacts and partnerships with other organizations and networks outside the United Nations, in particular national machineries for the advancement of women.
