Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) is focused on promoting gender equality and empowering women economically, socially, and politically. Providing women with opportunities to enter historically male-dominated fields such as science and business is one way to achieve this mission. The other choices, such as educating women about birth control methods, advocating for safe and legal abortions, and increasing financial aid to women who agree not to have children, are not part of UNIFEM's primary mission to empower women.
