權利平等是聯合國的一項基本原則。『聯合國憲章』的序言重申「基本人權,人格尊嚴與價值,以及男女與大小各國平等權利之信念」爲組織的中心目標之一,也因此,秉承『聯合國憲章』的平等權利之理念,婦女議題與地位提升也成爲聯合國的中心議題之一。 依據『世界人權宣言』之「人生而平等的精神」,所有的人在尊嚴和權利應該都是一視同仁的。因此,提倡與落實性別平等也成爲聯合國工作的重心之一,從過去單純的要求消除歧視與平等參與整體社會機制的機會,包括教育、職場、政治等領域外,到現在進行的消除貧窮、對抗愛滋病、提昇婦女地位、性別主流化等,都顯示出聯合國所關心的婦女相關議題隨著不同時代需求,而有不同的關切點。本文簡述聯合國歷屆婦女會議後,簡短探討聯合國所推動的女性與權利相關議題後,就台灣性別平等發展作簡單的檢視,提出性別主流化下的台灣社會之展望。
