Who sponsors the women together awards?

Question

A few days back Vasundhara Raje was awarded by this honour at UNO. Is it an official award by UNO or being given by other organisations?

Answer 1

The women together awards? My guess would be Snap On Tools.

Answer 2

It is an official UN award.  According to the press handout, "The award was given to Raje by Heba Abdellatif, from the Department of Political Affairs, United Nations."

The UN Women Together Award is given to those women  who do pioneering work in the social arena and are involved in promoting peace and gender equality, the fight against poverty, and the promotion of education, art and culture.
