The UN Women "Empowering Women, Empowering Humanity" Campaign

The UN Women "Empowering Women, Empowering Humanity" Campaign

May 22, 2014

 

From UN Women:

UN Women has launched  a year-long campaign on gender equality today, 22 May!

It will feature fantastic content and monthly social media activities, all under the theme of “Empowering women, empowering humanity. Picture it!”

In 1995, the Beijing Platform for Action created a blueprint, a promise for gender equality. Twenty years later, progress has been made, but challenges remain. How do you picture gender equality? What action will you take to close the gap?

Join +UN Women and partners now for  an all-day Tweetathon to kick off the #Beijing20 campaign!

On beijing20.unwomen.org:

Profiles of  Empowering Women, Empowering Humanity campaign champions, including actress/activist Nicole Kidman; artist/activist Mallika Sarabhai; Orlando Ayala, Chariman of Emerging Markets at Microsoft; Senegalese singer Youssou Ndour; and cricketer Dinesh Karthik.

Testimonials

Quotation mark.

It cleared many questions that I had prior and during my time here in the United States. The website was very helpful and detailed for things that we have no idea about and have to learn as we go.
